How to use herring in a sentence?

1. Wendy Murphy:

   Herring said in a statement. The fact that Republican attorneys general are suing to block the ERA, and that they now have the support of the Trump Administration, is absolutely repugnant. FLASHBACK: WHY THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT IS A FEMINIST DISASTER On Tuesday, supporters of the ERAfiled a federal lawsuitin Massachusetts aimed at clearing a legal path for adoption of the amendment. The lawsuit argues that because the deadline was set forth in legislation authorizing states to ratify the amendment and not in the three-sentence amendment itself its not constitutionally binding and Virginias vote would put the amendment over the top. We are not surprised that the Trump administration acted swiftly to declare its opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment.

2. Michael Brown:

   Since that time, restoration projects on the Penobscot River and many smaller rivers now allow river herring to access traditional spawning habitat, a result of the restoration activities is the expanding river herring resources we are seeing in Maine today.

3. Gerald Hassell:

   Headcount can be a bit of a red herring in terms of analysis.

4. Jay Jones:

   Mark Herring is Mark Herring that Ralph Northam have ever had, and everyone who is running for office in Virginia is looking to him for support.

5. Suzanne Nossel:

   This is a red herring, what goes on in schools is no secret. Children bring things home. They share what is happening.
