How Mikie Sherrill’s family made millions after she was elected to Congress

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New Jersey gubernatorial hopeful Mikie Sherrill has become one of the Garden State’s richest lawmakers in Congress six years after getting elected to Washington — buoyed by a portfolio of luxe properties, millions in stock and a banker husband who earns more than $2 million per year.
Republican Jack Ciattarelli and his allies have pummeled Sherrill (D-NJ) over her finances — accusing her of «flipping stocks and cashing in» since being elected to high office.
«In the seven years that she’s been in Congress, she’s tripled her net worth!» Ciattarelli said during their fiery clash at last week’s debate.

«While you were sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, you were trading defense stocks,» he went on.
Sherrill has denied that claim, saying she does not own individual stocks — though a mealy-mouthed response to the question about her net worth from «The Breakfast Club» host Charlamagne tha God has only fanned the flames.
A peek at Sherrill’s financial disclosures contradicts some of the attacks Ciattarelli and his allies have made on the campaign trail about her net worth — and suggests her impressive wealth growth comes from a variety of sources.
«Mikie does not own or trade individual stocks, and has gone ‘above and beyond’ releasing the exact values of her finances to the dollar,» Sherrill campaign communications director Sean Higgins told The Post.

«New Jerseyans have zero insight into Jack Ciattarelli’s net worth, they do know he made $15 million in profits off opioid misinformation and investments linked to the Chinese Communist Party.»
The frequently cited $7 million figure stems from a Washington Free Beacon analysis that used the average of a range of values provided in congressional financial disclosures.
In 2019, Sherrill’s net worth would’ve been between $730,000 and $4.3 million, per her House financial disclosure records. By 2024, it jumped to between $4.8 million and $14 million.

Additionally, that analysis looked at all her assets, not just stocks. And a key reason why her net worth jumped so sharply in that analysis is that she added a Washington, DC, townhouse, purchased in a tony neighborhood in 2021 for $1.5 million.
As Ciattarelli noted, Sherrill was forced to pay a $400 fee in 2021 for STOCK Act violations, after blowing past a 45-day deadline to disclose her husband’s stock trades — something that is not uncommon in Congress.
What is Mikie Sherrill’s net worth?
The Garden State Democrat’s net worth is somewhere between $9.4 million and $14.61 million.
Quiver Quantitative, which provides estimates for most members of Congress, pegged Sherrill’s fortune at $14.61 million, which would place her just behind Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s (D-NJ) $42.19 million net worth as the second-richest Garden State pol in Washington.
An August analysis by the New Jersey Globe pegged her and her husband’s net worth at $9.4 million.

How did Mikie Sherrill get so rich?
Most of Sherrill’s fortune stems from her banker husband, Jason Hedberg.
Hedberg gets partially compensated through stocks from UBS, which they frequently sell off, according to financial disclosures.
He has raked in more than $2.6 million each year since 2021 — topping out at $2.9 million last year. For comparison, Sherrill’s congressional salary is $174,000.
Shortly after taking office, Sherrill began offloading individual stocks in favor of exchange-traded funds to mitigate conflict-of-interest concerns.

She had $4.4 million in her brokerage account, and her husband reportedly had $1.9 million in unvested stocks. The pair also had about $1.5 million between their checking accounts, retirement accounts and life insurance policies.
The New Jersey Democrat’s investment portfolio fared 1.9% worse than the S&P 500, according to insider trading watchdog Unusual Whales.
Luxe properties
Sherrill and her husband also own three homes: a large mansion in wealthy Montclair, a vacation home in Vermont, and the Washington, DC, townhouse.
Zillow records indicate that her Montclair home is worth about $3 million, her vacation home is about $780,000, and her DC home, which she once rented to former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), was pegged at $1.6 million.
Records indicate those three homes have mortgages on them.

At least two of her children went to the tony Montclair Kimberly Academy, which has tuition as high as $53,340 annually.
Ciattarelli’s wealth
Following pressure from Sherrill’s allies to release more of his tax documentation, the Ciattarelli campaign let media outlets examine 13 years of his tax returns.
While his net worth isn’t fully clear, tax records show that he has raked in close to $14.9 million since 2012 and paid at least $4 million in taxes, the New Jersey Monitor reported.
Ciattarelli, a former state assemblyman, had made his fortune off two medical publication businesses, one of which he sold in 2017, the same year he made $7.1 million in total income, per the outlet.

Tax records showed that his income fluctuated throughout the years, from $600,946 in 2014 to $854,966 in 2018 and $168,433 in 2022, according to the report.

Johnson accuses Schumer of blocking ‘real discussion’ to keep government open

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is accusing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of refusing to vote to end the government shutdown to kowtow to his left-wing base.
Johnson told Fox News Digital in a sit-down interview that Democrats’ refusal to budge on their current position came up in an hour-long call with President Donald Trump Wednesday afternoon.
«[Trump is] very bothered by that, that Chuck Schumer would do this, Democrats would do this, because we haven’t,» the top House Republican said.
He noted that Democrats had voted on a similar measure to what Republicans are offering on 13 different occasions under former President Joe Biden.

«And even when the Republicans were in the minority, we did the right thing to keep the government open. And we fully expected that Schumer would do that again, as he always has, but not this time,» Johnson said.
«This is a selfish political calculation he’s made, that he’s got to prove to the far left that he’s going to fight Trump or something. So, we talked about our frustration with that.»
He said Trump appeared «happy» that Republicans remain unified in their federal funding stance but was concerned about the effects of a prolonged shutdown on everyday Americans.

«But the reason we’re happy about that is because we know we’re doing the right thing for the American people,» Johnson said. «And Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are demonstrating that they are willing to inflict this pain upon the people for their own political purposes. And I think that is a tough thing for them to get over.»
He said of a meeting between congressional leaders and Trump that occurred Monday: «I tried my best in the White House, and he just is in no mood to have a real discussion about these issues. So, we are where we are.»

Senate Democrats have now rejected a GOP-led plan to fund federal agencies through Nov. 21 three times.
The measure is called a continuing resolution (CR) and is aimed at buying House and Senate negotiators more time to reach a deal on fiscal year 2026 federal funding priorities.
The CR would keep current federal funding levels roughly flat while adding an extra $88 million in security spending for lawmakers, the White House and the judicial branch.
Democrats, furious at being largely sidelined in funding discussions, have signaled they would not accept any bill that does not also extend Obamacare tax subsidies that were enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those enhanced subsidies are due to expire at the end of this year.
But Johnson, who called the Obamacare subsidies an «end-of-year issue,» argued that the bill was a simple extension of federal funding, leaving Republicans with no realistic path for concessions.

«If it was not clean and simple, if I had loaded it up with a bunch of Republican partisan priorities, then there would be something for us to negotiate. I could take those things off and offer it again. I sent it over with nothing attached at all,» he said.
«It quite literally is just buying us time to finish the appropriations process, which was being done in a bipartisan manner. So, I don’t have anything to give, there’s nothing I can give. And Chuck Schumer has made such outrageous counter-demands and proposals that he’s the one that has to come to his senses.»
He was referring to Democrats’ counter-proposal for a CR, which would have repealed the Medicaid reforms made in Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill, while restoring funding for NPR and PBS that was cut by the Trump administration earlier this year.
Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer’s office for a response but did not hear back by press time.

Carlos Zanón: “El libro es un enfermo con una salud de hierro”

Es la cuarta vez que Carlos Zanón visita la Argentina pero esta, dice, la nota distinta. En el ambiente se respira otro aroma. La última vez —piensa— fue hace unos ocho o nueve años. “Sí, distinta. De todos modos es el día a día lo que tienes que evaluar. Se ve que la gente habla menos de política, por ejemplo. Eso es algo que me ha sorprendido. Hace diez años, cuando entrabas a un taxi o en un bar, todo el mundo hablaba de política. Ahora parece que la gente está bastante escaldada de hablar de política. Entonces hablamos de otras cosas, de la eliminación de River, y ya está”.
Este escritor nacido en Barcelona en 1966, autor de una veintena de libros —varios poemarios, también libros sobre música y un incipiente énfasis en la novela en los últimos años—, es uno de los grandes invitados del festival Semana Negra BA 2025. Hoy a las siete de la tarde va a estar junto a Claudia Piñeiro en una charla titulada “Charco noir: el género a un lado y otro del Atlántico”. Será en la Casa de la Cultura con la moderación de Hinde Pomeraniec. Y mañana, viernes, a la seis y media de la tarde conversará con Gabriela Saidon en el Centro Cultural de España en Buenos Aires.
“A la Argentina me unen los libros. Desde chaval ya leía autores argentinos”, dice del otro lado del teléfono, y recuerda a uno con mucho cariño: «Julio Cortázar para mí fue una fascinación». “He seguido leyendo las cosas que se hacían aquí. Tengo muchos amigos. Selva Almada, Claudia Piñeiro, Gaby Cabezón. La verdad es que tengo muchas referencias de lo que está pasando aquí“, dice quien hoy se ha vuelto una referencia en la novela negra. Su último libro, Love song (Salamandra, 2022), cuyos personajes viven con la máxima que “todo en la vida pasa una vez y media”, es una buena muestra.
El ingreso de Zanón al género negro fue “muy casual”: “No era consciente, porque en España el género negro es muy flexible, no es sólo el policial y las categorías no son tan marcadas como en otros países. A mí, como autor, el género puro y duro no me interesa. Me interesa más la tradición, que quizás viene de Patricia Highsmith, de una novela psicológica, una novela existencialista también. Me interesa más el por qué que el quién mató a quién: por qué suceden las cosas, qué harías tú en una situación determinada, qué pasa en las ciudades, de qué manera gestionamos las familias».
“Me interesa más explorar ambientes y personajes, también todo aquello que se mezcla con el fantástico, con lo histórico o simplemente con la novela costumbrista de toda la vida. Me interesa, sobre todo, una mirada negra”, dice Zanón y se pone su propio traje, el que más cómodo le queda, porque es el suyo, el que tiene “un cierto pesimismo, un cierto determinismo quizás”. “Mi mirada como escritor, mi visión de la sociedad, es más pesimista y determinista en el sentido de que el destino es el carácter. Lo que te va a pasar es como eres y de ahí no puedes escapar por mucho que lo intentes. Me interesa ese tipo de mirada en donde no hay salida. Es lo que yo llamo mirada negra”.
Antes de Love song y Taxi, antes de resucitar al emblemático detective de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán con Carvalho: problemas de identidad, incluso antes de Yo fui Johnny Thunders y de Tarde, mal y nunca, lo que había en Zanón era un poeta. “La poesía es la manera en que gestiono la literatura: trabajar las palabras y el contexto. Toda literatura, si es literatura, es música, y si es música, es poesía. Nos gusta cómo nos explican las cosas, más que lo que nos explican: las palabras que eligen, el tiempo, la musicalidad. La diferencia entre redactar y escribir es la música”.

En los sesenta y setenta, en la casa familiar de los Zanón no había libros desperdigados por las habitaciones ni una pila de títulos sosteniendo una maceta con un potus. Mucho menos una colorida biblioteca. Sus padres no eran grandes lectores, sin embargo le insistían con los beneficios de la lectura. A su padre le gustaba un libro, tal vez el único, Los tres mosqueteros de Alejandro Dumas, y se lo inoculó. “A mí tampoco, cuando era crío, me gustaba leer, pero sí me gustaba mucho Los tres mosqueteros. Lo leí muchísimas veces. Ese fue mi primer contacto con la literatura», agrega.
En el fondo del recuerdo aparece un tío, docente de primaria que murió en un accidente de tránsito. Cuando Carlos Zanón se fue a vivir con sus abuelos se encontró con su biblioteca. “Leer esos libros fue una manera de estar en contacto con él. Era una biblioteca absolutamente heterogénea, desde Cómo aprender kárate en treinta lecciones a una colección sobre las cien mejores obras de la historia. Recuerdo Lord Byron, Bécquer, Julio Verne, Emilio Salgari, los cuentos de Cortázar. Leía Madame Bovary a una edad que no entendía nada. Todo era como un misterio, un código secreto».
“Somos historias”, dice Zanón. “Nos explicamos todo como historias y creo que eso tiene que ver mucho con la ficción y con la función literaria. El hecho de abrir un libro, que es hecho individual, me parece que es algo imparable, algo siempre muy subversivo”. Ni las pantallas podrán, opina Zanón, porque “el libro es un enfermo con una salud de hierro”. “Leer no nos hace mejores, pero sí nos abre la cabeza y nos permite vivir otras vidas, porque con la que tenemos no nos es suficiente. Eso creo que es lo que dan los libros. A diferencia de otras plataformas, exige un esfuerzo, y es recompensado”, concluye.
