Rebecca Michelle "Mikie" Sherrill (/ˈmaɪki ˈʃɛrəl/ MY-kee SHERR-əl; born January 19, 1972) is an American politician, former naval officer, and former federal prosecutor serving since 2026 as the 57th governor of New Jersey. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
Sherrill was first elected to office in 2018, winning the election for New Jersey's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. She was reelected in 2020, 2022, and 2024. She was elected governor in 2025.
Sherrill is New Jersey's second female governor (after Christine Todd Whitman) and first female Democratic governor, as well as the first female military veteran to be elected governor of any U.S. state.
Sherrill was born in Alexandria, Virginia. She grew up in various places along the East Coast due to her father's job.
Sherrill attended South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, from 1986 to 1990, participating in the school's marching band. In 1994, she earned her Bachelor of Science from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

In 2007, Sherrill earned a Juris Doctor from the Georgetown University Law Center.
Inspired by her grandfather who served as a pilot in World War II, Sherrill wanted to be a pilot from an early age. She was among the flight school graduates in the first class of women eligible for direct assignment to fly combat aircraft. Sherrill graduated from the Naval Academy in 1994.
She later completed over a year of flight training, was designated as a Naval Aviator after graduation from the advanced rotary-wing training pipeline at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, and became a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, flying the H-3 Sea King. Sherrill flew missions throughout Europe and in the Middle East. In 2000, she was based at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas.
Following her first operational sea duty assignment in a flying squadron, Sherrill was a Russian policy officer assigned to the then-Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR).
