Representing New Jersey families in Washington gives me the chance to address the diverse needs of all of the people who call this state home. Whether that’s meant securing funding for a state-of-the-art veterans health care facility, leading the fight to cap out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors, or passing the largest investment in history to combat climate change, I’m proud of the work my team and I have done. I’m especially proud to have built one of the strongest constituent services operations in the country, helped more than 13,000 of our neighbors resolve issues with the federal government, and returned more than $40 million to residents across Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties. Now I’m excited at the chance to build an incredible constituent service operation for the entire state of New Jersey.
I’ve championed policies that keep our economy moving forward, like the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which is helping to create two million jobs in New Jersey, build a greener economy, improve transit options, and rebuild our crumbling roads and bridges. I’ve written legislation that will give local workers and contractors more opportunities to access military construction projects and create new opportunities for veteran-owned small businesses to win federal contracts.
There’s still critical work to do, beginning with passing a clear, definitive federal law that restores the right to choose a safe, legal abortion and nullifies the Supreme Court’s extreme, dangerous Dobbs verdict. I’ve cosponsored and voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act, opposed efforts to erect medically unnecessary barriers to reproductive care, voted in support of expanding access to health coverage, contraception, and global reproductive freedom. I have always fought for a woman’s right to choose when or whether to have a family, and I’m committed to protecting that right and expanding access to reproductive freedom in every state – once and for all.
At the same time, I’ll never stop fighting to fix our broken immigration system, bring lasting peace to the Middle East, end government corruption, and protect our democracy. It’s an honor to keep moving these priorities forward, to make sure our government is working for working families and to keep working to restore trust and integrity in our politics.
