Joint Statement from Reps. Smith, Van Drew and Kean on Rep. Sherrill’s Navy Cheating Scandal
In light of last week’s explosive news report in the New Jersey Globe, and various other press reports since, we believe it is imperative that Representative Sherrill authorize the immediate release of all records related to her involvement in the 1994 United States Naval Academy cheating scandal.
By her own admission, Representative Sherrill was punished for her role in the scandal after denying it to the New Jersey Globe back in 2018. Given that, it is important for voters across New Jersey to know all the facts. For example:
- What did Representative Sherrill tell investigators when they questioned her?
- What violations did Representative Sherrill ultimately commit?
- What was the full extent of Representative Sherrill’s punishment?
The only way that level of transparency can be achieved is for all of Representative Sherrill’s academic, disciplinary, and investigatory records to be made public – something only Representative Sherrill can authorize. We call on her to do so immediately and without qualification.
If those sealed disciplinary records match Representative Sherrill’s current explanation, we are unsure why she would refuse to release the records and put this matter to rest.
