It’s time for every American to get the healthcare they deserve.

This kind of nonsense is why Democrats lose elections. Half measures aren't working, we must abolish ICE.

If you want to know why some of our politicians won't vote for equal accountability, just follow the money.

We should hold ourselves and ALL of our allies to the same human rights standards. When any leader takes action that violates international law, the US should directly sanction that leader and hold them accountable.

I’m funded by an average online contribution of $33. No corporate PACs, no super PACs, no personal wealth. I’m the youngest candidate in this race and I’m running because I can’t afford to live in the community where I grew up. secure.actblue.com/donate/sm-ja...

Jersey is done with the era of rich people trying to buy seats in Congress. Congressional seats belong to everyday people, not the highest bidder.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I’m running against a bunch of millionaires, who have access to wealthy networks of donors, multi-million dollar super PACs they never mention, and even folks who have written themselves six figure checks in self funding.

And with Penn Station closed to regular commuters on game days, many New Jerseyans may have no way home. We need a plan for commuters and fans, not just the fat cats at FIFA.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Is NJ ready for the World Cup? MetLife stadium will ban parking and tailgating on game days, pushing hundreds of thousands onto NJ Transit. New Jersey shouldn't be footing the bill while so many billionaires line their pockets.

Thanks to Trump and Netanyahu’s reckless war with Iran, gas is going for over $4 a gallon in New Jersey right now. And costs are only expected to go up from here. This is fixable. We have to elect a Congress that says NO to Trump’s forever wars.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Honored to have the endorsement of Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi. Raja has spent years in Congress delivering results for working families. That's the standard I'm holding myself to in NJ-12.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Our campaign will continue to reach out to every voter in NJ-12, no matter what language they speak.

MAGA trolls found our Hindi campaign video, and they were NOT happy. The truth is, they’re mad because they know they’re losing. Their economic and foreign policies are disastrous, so they’re grasping at straws to cause outrage.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Trump’s threat to wipe out an entire civilization in Iran is a call for genocide, plain and simple. Everyone in his chain of command must refuse these illegal orders, and Congress must invoke the 25th amendment to sideline this mentally deranged president.

I approach this day with deep respect for the meaning it holds for so many families. In a state as diverse as ours, moments like Easter are also a reminder of the strength we draw from one another’s traditions and beliefs. Wishing all who celebrate a joyful and meaningful Easter.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Happy Easter! Easter is a day that speaks to renewal, hope, and the power of faith in the face of hardship. It is a moment for reflection, for gathering with loved ones, and for recommitting to the values that bring communities together.

Her leadership has always been about tackling big challenges head-on, and I’m grateful for her support as we continue that fight here in NJ-12. Let’s get to work!

I had the privilege of working alongside Secretary Granholm at the Department of Energy to deliver real results through lowering costs, creating jobs, and investing in clean energy for families across New Jersey and the country.

I'm honored to receive the endorsement of former U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm.

Chag Pesach Sameach to all those celebrating in New Jersey and around the world!

Stood today with hundreds of protesters in Trenton to declare that in America, we have #NoKings. We’ve had ENOUGH of the corporate greed and chaos of Donald Trump and his billionaire friends. This protest today was electric. Now, it’s time to bring this energy to the ballot on June 2.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

I was born and raised in this district, and this campaign is powered by the people who also call Central Jersey home. We’re just getting started.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

It’s official! Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’ve collected 986 signatures and officially filed to be on the ballot for the NJ-12 primary on June 2.

Trenton is a river city, but Route 29 blocks access to the river. Now, there’s a plan to turn it into a boulevard with sidewalks, parks, and waterfront access. It’s a huge investment that could unlock billions. In Congress, I’ll fight for the federal funds to make it happen.

Amidst the pain and the division that comes from Washington, DC, I’ll always stand with Muslim New Jerseyans to ensure that our houses of worship, our schools, our streets, and our homes always have the dignity, prosperity, and safety that everyone deserves.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

This year, like many of the last few years, have been especially difficult for Muslim New Jerseyans, many of whom have lost innocent family members in war, all while too many leaders use violence abroad to pit our communities against each other at home.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

During this time our Muslim brothers and sisters and allies come together with loved ones and give back to the community.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating across New Jersey and around the world! Eid is a beautiful time of joy and reflection, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual renewal.

Tell us what’s working, what’s inspiring you, and how we can make this campaign one that you can be a part of.

This is my first time running for office, and I’ve been overwhelmed by the support my community has shown me in the past few months. We still have a lot of learning to do, so we want to hear from you!

AI has a lot of exciting potential, but we have to do this right. If corporations want to dramatically increase electricity demand, they should also be responsible for bringing online new energy supply, instead of shifting the cost onto local residents.

000

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Wondering why your energy bill is so high? Tech giants are building massive data centers that run 24/7 and consume enormous amounts of electricity. Demand for power is rising faster than supply, which is driving up prices, and everyday customers are footing the bill.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Our leaders in Washington have no plan for the future. That’s why it’s time for a new generation. One that will live long enough to see the consequences of our actions.

000

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Washington is already repeating the same mistakes that led to decades of endless wars. At least 7 dead American servicemembers. Countless Iranian civilians dead. Negotiators dead. Potential successors dead. It’s time to pass a War Powers Resolution and choose diplomacy over violence.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Iran is entering a new and uncertain chapter. But one thing is clear: we cannot just bomb our way to democracy.

Building solidarity across our communities keeps us strong in the face of nonstop attacks.

It was an honor to celebrate 100 years of Black History Month this week. Thanks to the incredible @AswTennilleRMcCoy and @IslesInc for bringing the community together to remind us that Black history is American history.

and let's increase the age at which young adults can stay on their parent's health care plan. If elected to Congress, I'll fight for bold policies that change lives, not bills that merely preserve the status quo.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Health care is a human right. And to achieve universal coverage, we need to do more than just subsidize private insurance companies. We need Medicare for All. While we build toward a Medicare for All majority, let's also establish a public option to compete with the private market...

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

We have to invest in clean energy to lower our electric bills, create union jobs, and fight climate change. We don't have to choose between taking care of our present and taking care of our future - we can do it all, now.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I helped bring millions of dollars in clean energy investment home to NJ during my time working at DOE on the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, Trump is tearing those investments apart to fund ICE and tax cuts for billionaires.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Growing up, I learned that the language you speak and the neighborhood you grow up in often determines your destiny. I saw it firsthand in high school on student council. That inequality drives my politics today, and it’s why I’m running for Congress.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

The Clarksville Bridge has been closed for MONTHS… and it's getting ridiculous. This isn’t just another road. It’s a key connection for families, commuters, and local businesses. I want to hear from you- how has the closure impacted your day-to-day?

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Huge congrats to Analilia Mejia on her NJ-11 primary win! Voters sent a clear message: they’re done with backroom deals and dark money. Now it’s time to bring this new energy to NJ-12, and I’m excited to make my case to the people who actually decide elections: the voters.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

No trains left behind 🚆🚝🚉 Trump wants to gut Amtrak and NJ Transit, but I'm ready to fight for the critical investments we need to finally fix our trains.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

This is deeply personal for me. I'm the child of immigrants who saw firsthand how our broken immigration system tore apart families and kept workers in the shadows long before Trump took office. We need to elect Democrats who can meet this moment.

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

I won’t accept useless half measures like “marking the vans” or “removing their face coverings.” What ICE is doing is clearly not keeping us safe. It’s time to shut down this organization and rely on comprehensive, community-based measures to enforce our laws and protect our communities.

100

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Now, every morning, thousands of New Jersey parents send their kids to school with their documents, passport cards, or birth certificates in their backpacks in case an ICE agent stops them for their accent or their appearance.

100

Jay for Jersey @jayforjersey.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

It’s time to abolish ICE and impeach Kristi Noem. Donald Trump gutted health care and clean energy funding to give tax cuts to the rich and unleash this lawless paramilitary force to terrorize, abduct, and murder our neighbors.

Thank you to the West Windsor Human Relations Council for having me at their MLK Day Event, and to the Muslim Center of Greater Princeton for inviting me to a talk on the history of Black Muslims. These events remind us of our solidarity when too many forces want to pull us apart
