This kind of nonsense is why Democrats lose elections. Half measures aren't working, we must abolish ICE.

We should hold ourselves and ALL of our allies to the same human rights standards. When any leader takes action that violates international law, the US should directly sanction that leader and hold them accountable.

I’m running against a bunch of millionaires, who have access to wealthy networks of donors, multi-million dollar super PACs they never mention, and even folks who have written themselves six figure checks in self funding.

Is NJ ready for the World Cup? MetLife stadium will ban parking and tailgating on game days, pushing hundreds of thousands onto NJ Transit. New Jersey shouldn't be footing the bill while so many billionaires line their pockets.

Thanks to Trump and Netanyahu’s reckless war with Iran, gas is going for over $4 a gallon in New Jersey right now. And costs are only expected to go up from here.
This is fixable. We have to elect a Congress that says NO to Trump’s forever wars.

Honored to have the endorsement of Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi.
Raja has spent years in Congress delivering results for working families. That's the standard I'm holding myself to in NJ-12.

MAGA trolls found our Hindi campaign video, and they were NOT happy.
The truth is, they’re mad because they know they’re losing. Their economic and foreign policies are disastrous, so they’re grasping at straws to cause outrage.

Trump’s threat to wipe out an entire civilization in Iran is a call for genocide, plain and simple. Everyone in his chain of command must refuse these illegal orders, and Congress must invoke the 25th amendment to sideline this mentally deranged president.

Happy Easter!
Easter is a day that speaks to renewal, hope, and the power of faith in the face of hardship. It is a moment for reflection, for gathering with loved ones, and for recommitting to the values that bring communities together.

Stood today with hundreds of protesters in Trenton to declare that in America, we have #NoKings.
We’ve had ENOUGH of the corporate greed and chaos of Donald Trump and his billionaire friends. This protest today was electric. Now, it’s time to bring this energy to the ballot on June 2.

Trenton is a river city, but Route 29 blocks access to the river.
Now, there’s a plan to turn it into a boulevard with sidewalks, parks, and waterfront access. It’s a huge investment that could unlock billions. In Congress, I’ll fight for the federal funds to make it happen.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating across New Jersey and around the world! Eid is a beautiful time of joy and reflection, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual renewal.

This is my first time running for office, and I’ve been overwhelmed by the support my community has shown me in the past few months. We still have a lot of learning to do, so we want to hear from you!

Wondering why your energy bill is so high?
Tech giants are building massive data centers that run 24/7 and consume enormous amounts of electricity. Demand for power is rising faster than supply, which is driving up prices, and everyday customers are footing the bill.

Iran is entering a new and uncertain chapter. But one thing is clear: we cannot just bomb our way to democracy.

It was an honor to celebrate 100 years of Black History Month this week. Thanks to the incredible @AswTennilleRMcCoy and @IslesInc for bringing the community together to remind us that Black history is American history.

Health care is a human right. And to achieve universal coverage, we need to do more than just subsidize private insurance companies. We need Medicare for All. While we build toward a Medicare for All majority, let's also establish a public option to compete with the private market...

I helped bring millions of dollars in clean energy investment home to NJ during my time working at DOE on the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, Trump is tearing those investments apart to fund ICE and tax cuts for billionaires.

Growing up, I learned that the language you speak and the neighborhood you grow up in often determines your destiny. I saw it firsthand in high school on student council. That inequality drives my politics today, and it’s why I’m running for Congress.

The Clarksville Bridge has been closed for MONTHS… and it's getting ridiculous.
This isn’t just another road. It’s a key connection for families, commuters, and local businesses.
I want to hear from you- how has the closure impacted your day-to-day?

Huge congrats to Analilia Mejia on her NJ-11 primary win! Voters sent a clear message: they’re done with backroom deals and dark money. Now it’s time to bring this new energy to NJ-12, and I’m excited to make my case to the people who actually decide elections: the voters.
