Grateful to join Hudson County Exec Craig Guy and Senator Andy Kim to confront this crisis and work toward solutions. I was proud to vote for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, and I’ll keep fighting so families can afford to put down roots—and stay—right here at home.

Safe, affordable housing is a fundamental right. But too many families are being priced out of the very communities they helped build.

Modern, reliable transit connects people to jobs, strengthens our economy, and transforms communities. We’ll fight for every dollar our commuters deserve. Tying transit funding to marriage and birth rates is absurd. Just as we fought for—and won—funding for Gateway, we will win this fight, too.

Al Coutinho was a pillar of the Ironbound—a tireless champion for his community, education, and our youth. ⚽️🙏 Naming this field at Riverfront Park in his honor will keep his legacy alive in every young person who plays here. We miss Al deeply, but we carry his mission forward every day.

From Minnesota to Maine to Texas—and now New York, just across the river from Jersey City. No one should have to live in fear of being shot in broad daylight. Yet that fear is already at our doorstep. We cannot afford complacency. We cannot answer with silence. Abolish ICE.

The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail shows just how transformative public transit can be. But for too long, riders have had to put up with delayed trains, overcrowded platforms, and long-promised expansions that have yet to become reality. Our communities deserve better.

U.S. judges recognized the grave danger they faced in their home countries. Yet this Administration is sending them to foreign nations where they face the same threats of imprisonment, violence, and persecution.

Martin was on his way to buy diapers for his children when he was apprehended by ICE. Since that day, his wife Gaby has fought tirelessly to bring him home. And we’ve stood by her every step of the way. Tonight, Martin is finally coming home to his wife and children — right where he belongs.

The Supreme Court’s decision to let the Trump Administration deport people to countries where they have zero ties is indefensible. Taxpayers shouldn't fund tearing people from the only home they’ve ever known, nor should our legal system fast-track these unilateral deportations.
