That's why I reintroduced legislation to create a task force of experts dedicated to tackling the real challenges working families face - because real solutions start with listening and leading.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are offering a better path - one that protects vital programs and puts working families first.
This proposal is a decision point for Republicans in Congress: Will they continue to blindly follow the President? Or will they fight for the people they were elected to represent?
Here’s the issue: How can families chase the American Dream when they’re worried about putting food on the table, losing their healthcare, or paying rent?
It’s irresponsible to slash programs that hardworking people pay into while asking nothing of the wealthiest among us.
And for our veterans, who’ve sacrificed so much for this country, cutting VA healthcare, mental health services, and housing assistance is more than irresponsible; it’s a betrayal.
Veterans put their lives on the line for us, and we must honor our commitment to them when they return home.
For seniors, this budget cuts critical programs like the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Cuts for seniors lead to impossible choices - between medicine and groceries and between staying warm and staying fed.
With education and childcare costs rising, the budget slashes $4.5 billion from K-12 education. That hurts working families the most - especially parents trying to stay in the workforce. These cuts weaken families and the economy.
Slashing affordable housing, specifically over $26B from federal rental assistance programs, and cutting the entire LIHEAP energy assistance program means more families without a safe, warm place to call home.
We need to invest in programs that make housing more affordable; this does the opposite.
Healthcare cuts put nearly 2 million New Jerseyans - pregnant women, children, seniors, and those with disabilities - at risk of losing access to care.
That means fewer cancer screenings, less preventative care, more ER visits, and higher costs for everyone.
First - and this is important - budgets are a reflection of the Administration’s values, and Trump’s budget not just fails to support American families, but it weakens the very institutions that support our democracy.
Last week, President Trump released his proposed 2026 federal budget - and it paints a troubling picture for so many Americans.
Let’s break down what it means for New Jersey. 🧵
Our interns and fellows play a crucial role in supporting our work for the people of #NJ08.
Thank you for all your hard work this spring! We are excited to see what you accomplish next!
What a day in Bayonne!! It was an honor to attend the opening of the 10th season of Buddy Baseball & the grand opening of their brand new field — a powerful reminder of what inclusion, teamwork, and community can achieve.
Grateful to all who made this day possible.
Great participating in Earth Day celebrations in Hudson County with HCIA —where the community is leading the way toward a cleaner, greener future.
I’m committed to protecting green spaces, investing in resilient infrastructure, and meeting our environmental challenges head-on.
Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander voices strengthen and uplift our communities.
As a proud @capac.house.gov member, I stand with New Jersey’s #AANHPI communities—this month and every month—to amplify your voices and advocate for your needs.
Proud to relaunch the Men's Health Caucus alongside my co-chairs.
We're committed to encouraging men and boys to take proactive steps to protect their health - through prevention, early detection, and seeking support when it’s needed.
People in New Jersey and across the country rely on PBS and NPR to inform, educate, and inspire—without all the noise.
The Trump Admin’s decision to cut their funding threatens to further silence trusted voices our communities count on, from classrooms to kitchen tables.
It's always great meeting students with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities to say hello 👋
We must continue advocating for Latino students, Dreamers, and strong education funding to ensure every student is prepared for the jobs of the future. Thanks for stopping by!
Protecting Americans’ personal information and sensitive data isn’t a Democrat and Republican issue - it’s one that impacts all Americans.
That’s why we ALL need to call out DOGE & the Trump Administration for making our data less secure and weaponizing it against our neighbors.
Workers across America keep our country running.
On #InternationalWorkersDay, I joined the IAM and my @laborcaucus.house.gov colleagues to address the importance of fighting for fair wages, safety, and dignity—especially with Trump in office. Your fight is our fight and we are in this - together.🤝
