Dear Friend,

Every month of the year, I’m focused on fighting for South Jersey. From hosting my 6th Annual Constituent Services Fair to introducing a bill to raise the minimum wage, here are some of my highlights from July!

Helping You

I assisted 84 constituents in getting passports in time for travel despite unprecedented backlogs at the Passport Agency.
I helped 397 constituents resolve issues with federal agencies and get connected with federal resources.
I hosted my 6th annual Constituent Services Fair, connecting over 600 constituents with resources and services from over 100 federal, state, and local agencies and nonprofits.

Community Connections

I welcomed Cherry Hill’s Rabbi Steven Lindemann as my guest for Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address before a joint session of Congress. It was the first time in 36 years that an Israeli president has come before Congress, and I was glad to have a local leader with me to witness the historic occasion.
I announced $19 million in federal funding to expand and improve the Camden County LINK trail.
President Joe Biden invited me to join him at the Philadelphia Shipyard to promote offshore wind investments in South Jersey and announce a new project that will bring thousands of jobs to our region.
I attended the Roland Traynor River Stage Dedication at Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden.
Representatives from New Jersey’s Hannibal M. “Killer” Cox Jr. Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen visited my office to discuss the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.
I joined my brothers and sisters in labor at the annual conference of the New Jersey Building and Construction Trades Council.
My team attended the Gloucester County 4-H fair in Mullica Hill and the Emanuel Baptist Church Fellowship Dinner in Glassboro.

Fighting for South Jersey

I led a bipartisan letter to stand up for my constituents’ right to collectively bargain for safe working conditions and fair compensation.
I introduced the Tax Fairness for Workers Act to allow workers to deduct union dues and other employee expenses from their taxes.
I joined colleagues to introduce the Raise the Wage Act to increase the federal minimum wage for the first time in 14 years.
I introduced legislation to help us transition to renewable fuels, while strengthening our energy security and supporting union workers.
I joined colleagues to introduce the Rebuild America’s Schools Act to rebuild, repair, and sustain America’s schools, while creating over 2 million jobs across the country.
