So Donald Norcross and I may not agree on football (Go G-Men), but we can agree that this Republican shutdown hurts New Jersey’s families.
We’re in DC fighting to protect healthcare, lower costs, and reopen the government - together.

You either stand for democracy, or you don’t. There is no middle ground.
Rep. Troy Carter and Rep. Cleo Fields said it best: "we must not allow the erosion of its promise; not now, not in Louisiana, not anywhere, and not on our watch."
The stakes couldn't be higher.
The courts should protect the rights of every American, not empowering those who want to silence them.
This case could pave the way for discriminatory racial gerrymandering, diminish the voting rights of so many friends and neighbors, and directly result in an estimated 19 more Republican seats in Congress.
Now, SCOTUS is considering eroding the Voting Rights Act and its protections for minority voters.
The right to vote is the foundation of everything we fight for. Without it, every other freedom is at risk.
Yesterday, SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais.

By terminating funding for Gateway, Trump is sending a message with his immature, mob boss antics.
“The message is loud and clear,” said one Jersey union worker, “we take the hit.”
Join my Telephone Town Hall TONIGHT at 5:00PM!

Federal workers serve this country with dedication every single day.
I joined over 150 of my colleagues to ensure the Trump Administration follows the law and backpays furloughed employees.
To every federal worker: we value you, we thank you, and we’ll keep fighting for you.
Today marks the last day of #HispanicHeritageMonth, but our commitment to our Latino communities continues every single day.
In these challenging times, we must keep fighting for equal opportunity & basic dignity for all, charting a better path forward for every one of our neighbors - together.
The Trump Administration has RIF’d career civil servants since day one.
While a federal judge may have provided temporary reprieve for federal employees during the shutdown, we must keep fighting to protect all federal employees from unprecedented and illegal RIFs.
Too many families in NJ and across the country are dealing with rising costs.
Republicans need to come to DC to reopen the government, cancel Medicaid cuts, and extend ACA tax credits.
That’s what this fight is about.🤝

This week, I visited north Jersey and sat down with union workers about the government shutdown and how Trump freezing funds for the Gateway Project impacts them.
More from our conversation coming soon.
I joined my NJ Dem colleagues calling on Secretary Noem to restore this vital Homeland Security funding.
Public safety must always come first.
The Trump Administration is cutting funding for New Jersey’s emergency preparedness.
Protecting our communities against terrorist attacks & other threats should be an issue EVERYONE cares about - regardless of political party.
Back in DC standing united alongside House Democrats as we fight for your healthcare & to build a better future for all Americans.
ACA open enrollment begins Nov. 1st.
And NJ families are already receiving notices from their insurance companies that premiums will skyrocket.
We cannot let this happen.
House Dems are in DC ready to work to protect healthcare, lower costs, & end this gov shutdown.
Can the GOP say the same?
