The snow may be gone, and the sun is finally shining, but it’s never a bad time to discuss housing policy and show off this delicious chicken cobbler!

Thanks to everyone who came out last night in Summit! I appreciated getting the chance to discuss the issues facing Union County and residents across NJ-07.

The Trump Administration’s reckless foreign policy is putting American servicemembers at risk and driving up costs for families at home.

We deserves actual leadership, not chaos.

Oil just hit $100 a barrel.

I’ve flown missions through the Strait of Hormuz, and I can tell you firsthand how quickly things escalate when leaders don’t have a plan.

I’m running for Congress because I want every girl in America to grow up believing that too.

Here's to strong women. Happy International Women’s Day.

May we know them.
May we be them.
May we raise them.

I want my two girls to know they are smart, kind, strong, honest, brave, and loved.

Girls who believe they can do whatever they set their minds to.

More than 200 #NJ07 voters attended a Candidate's Forum on 3/7 at RVCC in Branchburg to hear how these Democrats would take on Rep Tom Kean Jr in November and better represent our district! #VoteKeanOut2026

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

These cuts are unacceptable, and I’ll fight to protect the care our veterans have earned.

Our service members put their lives on the line to defend this nation. The absolute bare minimum we must do is make sure they get the care they deserve when they come home.

You don’t get to thank veterans for their service and then gut the VA.

Donald Trump’s reckless DOGE cuts have eliminated tens of thousands of VA jobs where about a third of those workers are veterans themselves.

I’m honored to have the support of Sparta Democratic Chair Sally Larson, Vice Chair Bill Greenlaw, and Ret. Superior Court Judge Lorraine Parker! We are building the coalition it’s going to take to flip this seat in November.

Thank you to Congressman Jason Crow for joining us in Bridgewater this week with over 100 folks from across NJ-07 who are ready to flip this seat! I’m fired up β€” let’s go win this.

My heart is with the families of our fallen service members.

We cannot sleepwalk into another forever war with no clear objectives and no exit strategy.

Congress must do its job and hold this administration accountable.

We need strength and accountability at the same time. Congress needs to do its job, and we all deserve the truth.

The President campaigned on lowering costs for American families, not on dragging America into another costly, endless war or pursuing regime change overseas.

Donald Trump, who has never worn the uniform of this country, is now warning that β€œwe might lose American lives.” Those risks should never be taken lightly or without a plan. Military action should only be taken after every diplomatic tool has been exhausted.

They have not offered clear, compelling evidence that this military action was necessary, nor explained what success looks like or how this ends.

Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, but sending America’s sons and daughters into harm’s way requires clear objectives and a real strategy. Right now, the Trump administration has provided neither.

As a former Navy test pilot, I’ve lived aviation safety and know firsthand - our rules are written in blood.

I wanted to jump on to explain what happened, and why it matters.

You may have missed this, but the House failed to pass aviation safety legislation this week after last year’s tragedy in Washington, DC.

I’m grateful to have @wedefendthevote.org’s support as we fight to ensure every American can cast a ballot free from fear, intimidation, or reprisal and ensure their voice is heard.

In honor of Black History Month, we’re celebrating trailblazers from across NJ-07 whose talent and impact changed the world. Today, we’re highlighting Zora Neale Hurston, an influential American writer, anthropologist, and a pioneering voice of the Harlem Renaissance who once lived in Westfield.
