The Gateway Tunnel means good union jobs, smoother commutes, and better lives for New Jersey families. Donald Trump is once again attacking our state with his illegal termination of this project. I won’t stopping fighting until funding is restored. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/n...

Donald Trump is targeting New Jersey. By halting funding for the Gateway Tunnel, he’s punishing NJ families, from commuters to union workers. He may be willing to sabotage our economy to score political points, but I’ll fight tooth and nail against this MAGA attack. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/n...

As a Member of Congress, my job is to serve my constituents — and I’ll continue fighting to drive down costs and protect your healthcare. If Congress cannot perform its most basic duty for New Jerseyans and federal workers aren’t paid, then Members shouldn’t get paychecks either.

For 90 years, Social Security has guaranteed that after a lifetime of work, Americans can retire affordably and with dignity. More than 1.7 million New Jerseyans, including over 140,000 NJ-11 residents, count on Social Security and I will fight every day to protect these hard-earned benefits.

This is a disgrace. A combat-tested general is being pushed out for doing his job because he didn’t pass some Trump loyalty test. Hegseth is running the Pentagon like it’s Fox News. It’s reckless, and it’s putting our country at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/u...

For too long, women have been underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) positions in our Armed Forces. This week, I introduced a NDAA amendment to break down barriers and expand opportunities for women in STEM.

Our service members put their lives on the line for our country, yet too often when they return to civilian life, they struggle to find career opportunities. I introduced an amendment to expand apprenticeship programs for these service members to help them find a path for their future.

We ask our servicewomen to put their lives on the line to serve our country. They should NEVER have to risk their lives giving birth. That's why I introduced an amendment to restore full reproductive freedom for every member of the armed forces no matter where they are stationed.

Secretary Hegseth froze aid to Ukraine TWICE without Trump’s approval, delaying vital support for Ukranian troops fighting Vladimir Putin's invasion. His mismanagement is dangerous and disgraceful. Ukraine can’t afford more deadly pauses.

A couple of months ago, I asked Pete Hegseth if he had fired General CQ Brown because he is Black, and fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti because she is a woman. He didn't dispute it.

Three years ago today Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, ripping away abortion rights from millions of women. Since then, 19 states have enacted an abortion ban. I won’t rest until we restore reproductive freedom for every woman no matter where they live.
