Federal Reserve Board nominee Stephen Miran can’t be politically independent if he is ALSO Trump’s Chief Economic Advisor.
It’s critical that the Fed remain politically independent. Here’s why it should matter to you.

Judge Salas has lived a life in service to others, in front of and behind the bench. I am thankful for her efforts to protect New Jersey and those who call it home.
Congratulations to Mayor Stack and the Union City School Board on the official opening of the Esther Salas Academy.
Radio stations are closing, programs are ending, and Americans are facing the reality of Trump’s cuts to public broadcasting.
This is what happens when Republicans in Congress go back on their word and side with Trump.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, New Jersey!
This month, we honor the countless contributions Hispanic Americans have made to our state and country. I look forward to celebrating the diverse communities and cultures that make our state so special.
Americans’ healthcare premiums are about to go up hundreds of dollars because Republicans in Congress care more about tax breaks for billionaires than healthcare for our families.
They can do something about it, but they're not.
The Federal Reserve cannot remain politically independent with Stephen Miran serving on its Board AND as Trump’s Chief Economic Advisor. It’s common sense.
If confirmed, Stephen Miran must resign from the White House.

My office is coming to YOU. Our October Resource Fairs will provide assistance with housing, Medicaid, SNAP, senior services and more.
Save the date and stay tuned for more info. 1/2
We’ve seen the hate, anger, and division, and our kids deserve better.
The time to recommit ourselves to public service – to Answer the Call – is now.
Job opportunities are diminishing while prices rise across the country.
The numbers don't lie.
New Jerseyans and folks all across the country are paying the price for Trump’s tariffs and chaotic economic policies.
I look forward to working with Minister Cho and the ROK on deepening Korean investment in the U.S. and developing economic opportunities that help our countries prosper. 2/2
South Korea is one of America’s most trusted economic partners. I was grateful to sit down with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to reinforce this fact and to continue the conversation on strengthening the U.S.-ROK alliance. 1/2
Instead of putting forward more qualified nominees, Trump is bullying Senate Republicans to jam these horrendous nominees through with less scrutiny. The American people deserve a Congress that will conduct a full vetting and questioning of Trump’s extreme nominees. 3/3
Republicans are taking away the opportunity for the Senate to thoroughly question and examine each and every nominee.
When you look at a lot of Trump’s nominees, they do not have the expertise, knowledge, or background to do the work our country needs. 2/3
Senate Republicans’ actions today will only further abdicate our Congressional responsibilities. By lowering the vote threshold to a simple majority and setting up blocks of confirmation votes that can include an unlimited number of sub-Cabinet nominees… 1/3
Last week, I asked New Jerseyans to share their stories of service after 9/11.
Thank you to all who wrote to us. Your words and actions are inspiring to so many.
Today, in addition to remembering the loved ones we lost in 9/11, we honor the brave first responders who are still with us today, helping survivors and families impacted by the attacks.
Here are some of their stories.
These stories of choosing a path that serves others—whether it be as a teacher, nurse, first responder, or volunteer—give me hope that even in the darkest of times, we can be part of something bigger than ourselves. 2/2
I asked New Jerseyans to share how 9/11 impacted their lives, and I’m moved by the stories of service I received in response. 1/2
Twenty-four years ago, our world changed forever. And so did mine.
On the anniversary of September 11th, we remember the people who lost their lives and loved ones.
Here are my reflections on the day and how it forever altered my own path to service.
