Trenton, NJ – A paper trail of letters and emails shows Jack Ciattarelli’s gubernatorial campaign did not act improperly in connection with the release of Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s military records, as the National Archives has admitted it mistakenly disclosed the files after a routine request.

The controversy began after private citizen Anthony DeGregorio submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2024 seeking “all publicly releasable information from the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF)” of Sherrill, a Navy veteran and congresswoman. In his request, DeGregorio noted that he sought only materials “lawfully provided” and that sensitive data could be redacted.

On July 3, 2024, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) responded by releasing roughly 85 pages.
