Hi Friend -- I’m writing to share a quick update on my latest work in Congress. As always, please don’t hesitate to drop me a note with any questions or feedback.

1. Launching a Bipartisan “Unity Commitment”

*
Ahead
of
the
2024
election,
I’ve
launched
a
bipartisan
“Unity
Commitment,”
which
commits
signing
members
to
respect
the
outcome
of
the
election,
regardless
of
who
wins.
Respect
for
our
democracy
must
never
be
a
partisan
issue.

2. Strengthening Maternal Health

*
Please
read
my
new
op-ed
in
The
Record
where
I
discuss
how
Jersey
and
our
nation
can
support
and
strengthen
the
health
of
new
and
soon-to-be
moms.

3. Standing Up for Jersey Commuters

*
I
introduced
my
new
“All
Aboard
Act”
including
a
“Rail
Passenger
Bill
of
Rights”
to
finally
put
an
end
to
“Summer
of
Hell”
nightmares.
My
plan
will
improve
our
rail
infrastructure,
and
guarantee
refunds
for
passengers
who
experience
significant
train
delays
and
cancelations.

4. Fighting to Restore the SALT Deduction

*
I
launched
my
new
SALT
portal
to
ensure
Jersey’s
voice
is
heard
in
Congress.
I’ll
never
stop
fighting
to
retore
SALT
(State
and
Local
Tax)
deduction,
lower
taxes,
and
make
life
more
affordable
for
Jersey
families.

5. Improving School Bus Safety

*
I
reintroduced
a
bipartisan
school
bus
safety
package
we’re
fighting
for
in
memory
of
Miranda
Vargas
and
Jennifer
Williamson,
the
student
and
teacher
we
lost
in
the
tragic
2018
Paramus
bus
crash.
My
plan
includes
the
SECURES
Act
to
require
school
buses
to
have
three-point
seat
belts
in
all
50
states
and
Miranda’s
Law
to
keep
reckless
and
unfit
individuals
from
driving
our
children
to
school.

Protection
Act,

protect
older
LGBTQ+
Americans

harassment,
abuse,
and
discrimination.

7. Standing Up to Hate and Antisemitism

*
I
joined
my
Democratic
colleagues
in
the
House
to
urge
Speaker
Johnson
to
immediately
convene
an
oversight
hearing
on
the
rise
of
antisemitism
found
on
X.
