It was great to be back in South Jersey speaking with hundreds of constituents regarding what is impacting your daily life and recognizing some outstanding members of our community.

South Jerseyans want lower prices, safe communities, and fair wages, not more government spending, illegal immigration, and heavy regulation. I will continue to fight for your interests and ensure that Washington does not continue to spend your hard-earned money on foreign wars while we have domestic issues unsolved. 

I re-introduced three bills to lower internet costs and to expand broadband access. These bills will help consumers, lower prices, and ensure that high-speed internet access is available across underserved areas. 

H.R.7452, Local Telecom Expansion Act of 2024

• Directs the Federal Communications Commission to establish a program to make grants available to expand broadband services in underserved areas by small business broadband providers. 

H.R.7453, New Overages in Crisis Areas Prevention Act

• Prohibits providers of broadband internet access service from increasing rates or enforcing data caps or allowances during an emergency or disaster. 

H.R.7461, Broadband Equipment Rental Reform Act 

• Prohibits providers of broadband internet access service from charging consumers more for renting or leasing equipment than what the consumers would have paid if they had bought the equipment outright.

This week, the House Judiciary committee held a markup where my bill, the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act, passed out of committee and will next go to the House floor for a vote.

This bill sends a simple but clear message: if an illegal alien assaults our law enforcement officers, they will be detained and deported. This is a commonsense lesson: actions must have consequences—a lesson that this administration has forgotten. 

On January 27th of this year, America watched as more than a dozen migrants were caught on camera beating up NYPD officers near Times Square. What has become even more disgusting than the attack itself is the response to this assault. Thanks to New York's far-left, soft-on-crime policies, many of the attackers were freed without bail and some even bussed off to California at the taxpayer's expense. 

This bill requires the DHS Secretary to issue a detainer for illegal aliens who are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admit to assaulting a law enforcement officer. It also requires DHS to quickly take custody of the alien if the alien is not already detained. This bill isn't just a commonsense solution to removing violent illegals from our streets and out of our country—it is a call to action and a demand for accountability to those that break our laws.

This week, I joined Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo to discuss the Oversight and Judiciary Committees releasing the transcript from a recent interview with Joseph Galanis, a former Hunter Biden associate, and reports that an alleged former Hunter Biden Chinese legal 'client' is threatening to take legal action to recover $1 million.

This week, I was honored to introduce Duane Sarmiento, Commander-in-Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and fellow native of South Jersey who has spent his life dedicated to serving our nation, during a joint meeting of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans Affairs.

The hearing aimed to discuss the legislative priorities of our leading American veterans' advocacy groups. Following Duane's military service, he chose to continue serving his community of Gloucester County, New Jersey as a police officer. After he retired from law enforcement, he served as the county director of Veterans Affairs in Gloucester County and held that position until he was elected as a VFW National Officer. 

Duane is committed to serving those who serving and embracing them and advocating for them wherever he travels. I am proud to say that I have known him for many years, being able to see how his service has impacted others and benefited his community.

This week, President Biden gave his State of the Union address where he claimed to the American people that the State of our Union is strong. However, we know that is not the case. With a 38% approval rating, ongoing record inflation, an open border, and wars raging around the world, we know that is far from the truth.
