Josh Gottheimer, AP and Washington Post declared on Tuesday. First elected to the House in 2018, the 53-year-old has made thousands in salary and has a massive net worth, according to latest estimates.

Net Worth Estimates
Quiver Quantitative estimates Sherrill’s net worth at $10.2 million, ranking her 81st in Congress. The trading platform further added that her net worth includes $3.9 million in publicly traded assets. Her net worth was $9.7 million on April 21, 2025, reflecting a $326.5K stock market gain in the prior month.
In 2019, Sherrill’s assets ranged from $1.3 million to $4 million, per shorenewsnetwork.com. By 2024, disclosures showed $4 million to $13 million, with an average increase of $7 million, according to Newsmax and Washington Free Beacon.
When asked about making $7 million in stock trades, she denied citing her husband’s financial activities and broad asset categories.
The New Jersey Monitor reported that Rep Sherrill and her husband, a broker, reported roughly $3.2 million in income for 2024. The publication cited their tax returns to further add that the couple reported $114,970 in dividend income from index and exchange-traded funds.
Members of Congress are paid a $174,000 salary.
Rep Sherrill will now face Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who had President Donald Trump's endorsement. In a victory speech, she criticized Ciattarelli as a “lackey” of the president's, invoked New Jersey's role in the American Revolution and hinted at the state's role as one of just two holding a race for governor a year after the presidential election.
“New Jersey once again stands at the front lines," she said. “We are in an American crisis, but not in a war for independence but a fight for our future.”
