I am heartbroken by the loss of my friend Kabir Moss, who I grew close to during his time working in the State Senate. Kabir was not only a dedicated public servant with a tremendous work ethic and remarkable creativity, but also an invaluable resource in helping to educate New…

Thank you to my colleague @tedlieu for joining our luncheon at the Cliffside Park Senior Activity Center. We had a good chat about the Big Bad Budget law and other priorities for our district’s senior citizens.

We had a great time yesterday with thousands of our Bergen neighbors and @govmurphy @mikiesherrill celebrating our beautiful communities and America’s 249th birthday! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy 249th Birthday America! I want to wish everyone in our communities and across the US a fun, happy, and restful July 4th today! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I just voted no to the One Big Ugly Budget Bill. This bill will steal health care from millions of Americans. It will cause hospitals and nursing homes to close. It will give trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy. It will do catastrophic damage to our communities and its passage…

Our House Democratic Caucus today stands united in support of our colleague and my neighbor Congresswoman LaMonica McIver!

I was honored last night to receive the @NJAFLCIO’s Legislative Award. New Jerseyans can always count on me to fight for the right to organize, to combat policies that weaken worker rights, and to stand in solidarity with the working men and women of labor.

The House just passed the Republicans’ big ugly budget. Debate was held in committee rooms and the House floor in the dead of night because the other side does not want the American people to know everything that is in this massive bad bill. It is skewed toward giving tax relief…

NJ Transit commuters have faced a lot of adversity and were already bracing for another rough summer. For rail service to stop running this morning causes deep suffering. The railroad and engineers union should get back to the negotiating table wo/delay and reach a fair deal now.

In our House Transportation Committee hearing just now I demanded answers from FAA officials on the continuing chaos at Newark Airport. We need three things right now: we need answers, we need urgency and we need funding.

I am surprised and super delighted an American has been elected Holy Father. The elevation of Cardinal Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, is a milestone for our nation and for the Catholic Church. I also join our district’s large Peruvian community in celebrating the fact that Pope Leo…

I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be joining @Jamie_Raskin @NatlDemSummer where we’ll be educating and training a new generation of political activists and leaders! College + high school students, apply here: democracy-summer.breezy.hr/p/98255dfcc85c…

It’s no secret that grassroots action will be a deciding factor in holding this seat and winning the House majority. I'm proud to have @swingleft volunteers in my corner as we gear up for one of the toughest races in the country here in NJ-09. We must defend this seat to…

House Democrats stand united for a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement.   I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension. Period.

Thank you, Iris Rivera and the Passaic County Parents of Adults with Disabilities-PACOPAD, for inviting me to participate in a roundtable discussion. As Congresswoman, I am bringing my unwavering commitment to fighting for special needs families to Washington, a priority I have…

Honored to attend Turkish Cultural Center New Jersey for the grand opening of their new community center, Harmony Point! It was a wonderful celebration of culture, community, and 20 years of dedication. Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible.

I was delighted to welcome New Jersey’s Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn LaTourette to Washington and he will testify today at our subcommittee on the Clean Water Act — few things more important!

It was my honor to be in Trenton to watch my friend @BenjieWimberly be sworn in to succeed me in the New Jersey State Senate. Benjie is one of our community’s smartest leaders and he will do a terrific job!
