As we watch Hurricane Melissa devastate parts of the Caribbean, we’re reminded — on the 13th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy — of how vulnerable our communities are to the growing impacts of climate change.

When Republicans passed Trump’s budget bill, they showed us their true colors by voting for the largest cuts ever to Medicaid and SNAP.
House Democrats have and will continue to hold the line in our fight for all Americans.
Investing in our children is investing in our future.
Starting November 1st, families across New Jersey risk losing access to Head Start programs due to the Republican shutdown. These programs are lifelines and Republicans must act now to protect them.
House Democrats won’t stand by while Republicans continue to attack working families and their dignity.
That means over 42 million Americans could lose food assistance next month. Republicans would rather let families go hungry than do their jobs.
The Trump Administration has the funding to keep SNAP running during this shutdown, they're just choosing not to use it.
Grateful to North Hudson CAC for all they do, and I’ll keep fighting to protect WIC, SNAP, and the families supported by these programs.
Honored to bring their message back to Washington.
📍North Hudson CAC WIC office in Union City
📢 WIC keeps moms, infants and kids healthy, but the GOP shutdown puts that at risk for thousands of NJ families.
So Republicans can find $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but can't find a dime to make sure 42 million Americans don't go hungry next month?
The solution to our energy challenges should be simple and bipartisan: invest in wind, solar, and every tool that builds a stronger, more affordable future for everyone.
I joined Rep. Fletcher and my colleagues in urging the EPA to reinstate this critical funding so we can expand clean energy, lower costs, and strengthen our grid.
Families in New Jersey are already facing high energy costs, and the Trump Administration's decision to end the IRA's $7B Solar for All program will only make it worse.
As we enter week 5 of the Republican government shutdown, House Democrats are holding the line to protect healthcare and lower costs for the American people.
We are in this fight - together.
🤝 Grateful to have worked closely with Joe and witness his tireless dedication to our region’s future by strengthening our infrastructure, protecting our environment and making the district more resilient.
Our communities are better because of you, Joe - wishing you all the best in retirement!
📍Celebrating Joseph Seebode’s retirement after more than four decades of service with US Army Corps of Engineers!
As a proud member of the Labor Caucus, I'll always stand up for workers' rights.
Pleased to see Local AFM 802 & Broadway League have reached a tentative agreement that improves access to healthcare & provides fairer wages for performers & crew.
Earlier this month, I joined colleagues in urging both sides to bargain in good faith to keep artists supported & Broadway thriving.
Proud to call you a friend and partner in building a stronger Hudson County - together.
Congratulations to Brian Stack on 25 years of service to Union City!
Brian’s commitment to the people is unmatched - and Union City's growth is a reflection of his leadership. There is no more relentless, tireless public servant than the one and only Brian P. Stack!
