Republicans canceled an oversight hearing to sweep this under the rug. I'm demanding an investigation and accountability.

AI is rapidly changing the healthcare landscape, but we need to make sure patients aren't being left behind. That's why I introduced a bill that would prohibit prior authorization requests from being denied using artificial intelligence unless they are reviewed by a qualified physician.

Donald Trump is putting our service members in danger with this prolonged war with Iran. I’m grateful that the two pilots involved in this attack are alive and unharmed. It’s time to end this needless war and bring our troops home.

On Veterans Day, we not only honor those who served, but recommit ourselves to taking care of those who put on a uniform. I introduced a bill to help veterans gain easier access to Narcan. As veterans are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse, this will prevent overdose deaths and save lives.

It's been 35 days since the government shutdown. Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket, people are going hungry— and House Republicans don't even care enough to show up and do their job.

This Thursday, I will be hosting a tele-town hall to answer questions regarding the current government shutdown and the upcoming rise in healthcare costs that Republicans refuse to address. I'm ready to take your questions and hear how you've been impacted by the shutdown. RSVP using the QR code:

‼️ Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees that we can’t allow Republicans to raise health care costs for millions of Americans. If we don’t act, insurance premiums will go up at least $4k for families and $1.2K for individuals in NJ on the ACA. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

It’s been almost a month since House Republicans have held a vote in Congress. They’ve shut down the government with no plan to negotiate or protect health care costs. Democrats are back in D.C. and fighting so families can afford their health care.

If you didn't do your job for 19 days, you would be fired. And yet House Republicans sent their members home. They've been on vacation instead of finding a solution to end this shutdown and lower healthcare costs. I am back in DC with my colleagues and ready to work for you.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
If Republicans allow Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire at the end of this year, this is what healthcare costs will look like for families across our community. While they keep our government shut down, we're fighting to protect and lower your costs.

Costs are high enough. Now, health care costs are going to nearly double when tax credits under the ACA expire. I voted NO on Republicans' funding bill today: they refused to act to save people's health care. I won’t sit by as they give tax cuts to the rich & make costs greater for everyone else.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
Republicans are about to let tax credits for the Affordable Care Act expire, which will cause health care costs to nearly double for thousands of Americans. What you need to know, and how I’m fighting to keep costs down:

For anyone who remembers where they were on 9/11, it doesn’t feel believable that it’s been 24 years. We can never forget the lives we lost on that day, and must ensure the heroes of 9/11 are given the resources they deserve.

Yesterday marked 90 years of Social Security delivering a crucial safety net to hard-working Americans. Trump officials and House Republicans say they want to privatize Social Security. I’m working alongside my Democratic colleagues to not only protect, but enhance your benefits. It’s time to act.

An ICE Facility at Ft. Dix would undoubtedly affect our service members’ morale and their ability to serve. It feels painfully hypocritical to have U.S. troops training to fight for our freedoms on the very same base that will likely ignore thousands of immigrants’ basic human rights.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 25/07/2025
This morning, @norcross.house.gov & I visited Ft. Dix to demand answers about the proposed detention center. As of now, no undocumented immigrants are being held on the base. But that hasn’t stopped this administration from keeping Congress and military officials in the dark about their intentions.

Speaker Johnson is trying to block us from putting up a plaque in the Capitol to honor the officers who served January 6th--including the New Jersey State Police. We're hanging it up anyway. I stand firmly with those who put themselves in harms way to defend democracy on that day.

Happy Juneteenth! While we celebrate our country’s progress, we have a ways to go towards justice for all. Despite that today is a federal holiday, celebrations are being canceled across the country due to resistance to diversity and inclusion. We remember the generations who fought for freedom.

Jokes about Elon and Trump aside, we’re witnessing the world’s two most powerful people argue while our government cuts basic services and looks to kick millions of people off of their healthcare.  The American people deserve better.

We have to look out for our neighbors. This is what I’ve been fighting for. and the fight is not over.

I spoke at the Burlington County Institute of Techology’s Youth Men’s Empowerment Summit. It’s true—American men are falling behind. We must do more to uplift young men in our communities, ensure they reach their potential, and pave the way for the next generation of leaders.

What I’m reading this morning. This is our government at its best: federally-funded research saved this baby’s life. And now, the findings have the potential to help treat other genetic diseases like sickle cell or Huntington’s disease. If this isn’t American greatness, I don’t know what is.

Some good news. And a powerful reminder of why we must continue to fund medical research across the country. Exciting developments like this don't happen on their own and without support."

I don’t know any doctors who would say taking away someone’s healthcare was a good idea. Yet Republican have proposed $880 billion in Medicaid cuts in order to fund tax breaks for the 1%. I stood alongside my fellow Democratic Doctors in Congress to protest these cuts and defend Medicaid.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Today I proposed an amendment to guarantee that veterans who depend on Medicaid don’t lose coverage. Every single Republican voted against it. Unlike my Republican colleagues, I know how important it is to keep our promises to those who served.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 02/05/2025
I was sent to D.C. to help make things more affordable. Unfortunately, Mike Johnson & Republicans are doing nothing. Johnson needs to call a vote on policies that will lower costs. That’s why I signed a letter demanding Speaker Johnson prioritize bills that lower prices & improve quality of life.

Today, the Democratic Doctor’s Caucus met to discuss our plans for the upcoming Congress, with our first priority being to protect Medicaid. As physicians, we know what the ramifications will be when children, adults, and our seniors lose access to this critical health care.

When it comes to national security, there’s no room for "figuring it out." You’re either ready — or you’re not. And time and again, Hegseth has proven he’s not.

It's true: I cosponsored a resolution that would allow Congress to end Trump's suffocating tariffs. Republicans have already blocked it from coming up for a vote.

I remain outraged at the refusal to return Kilmar Garcia. All evidence shows he was innocent & wrongly imprisoned. We shouldn't need to tell Trump to follow the court’s orders. Yet here we are. I signed a letter demanding Trump return Garcia home to his family. We must keep fighting for his release

Trump's Admin is trying to gut Social Security: they've closed offices, fired staff who issue benefits, and crashed the website. There's nothing efficient about making it harder to get benefits you've earned. On Social Security Day of Action, we say: hands off our Social Security!
