Mikie Sherrill, whose district includes Montclair, and Vicente Gonzalez, whose district includes San Juan and McAllen, Texas, have expressed concern about the size of the reconciliation package, and both represent districts that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/2021\/02\/10\/these-47-house-democrats-are-on-the-gops-target-list-for-2022\/\">designated<\/a> targets by the National Republican Congressional Committee for the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Sherrill has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/17\/alma-adams-reconciliation-build-back-better-hbcus\/\">pledged<\/a> to oppose the reconciliation package unless it includes a full repeal of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, a position that is a non-starter with the bill\u2019s more left-wing proponents.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez was part of a group of eleven vulnerable House Democrats who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/10\/05\/readout-of-the-presidents-meeting-with-11-house-democrats\/\">spoke<\/a> Tuesday with Biden via Zoom to discuss legislative strategy.
