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. Making Childcare More Affordable.
- As part of my “Childcare Affordability Plan,” I announced new legislation to make childcare more affordable and accessible, so that families can afford to live, work, and stay in Jersey. My plan will reduce costs, expand childcare options, and provide immediate relief to Jersey families. Read at WRNJ.
2. Advocating For a Bipartisan “Unity Commitment.”
- I announced a new bipartisan “Unity Commitment,” which pledges Members of Congress to ensure calm and respect the outcome of the election, regardless of who wins. Respect for our democracy must never be a partisan issue. Watch Morning Joe on Facebook.
3. Marking One Year Since the Devastating October 7 Hamas Attack.
- I led a bipartisan resolution to mark one year since the horrific Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists. We can never forget the unconscionable murder of 1,200 people that day as we work to bring the hostages — including Americans — home. Read at ROI-NJ.
4. Preventing Financial Abuse and Protecting Survivors.
- I announced new, bipartisan action to combat financial abuse and provide support to survivors of financially abusive relationships. Read at WFMZ.
5. Fighting to Restore SALT.
- I am continuing to fight hard to restore the full State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction and cut taxes for more than three million middle-class Jersey families. Read at Pix11.
6. Clawing Back Federal Investment to Renovate Port Authority Bus Terminal.
- After I advocated for critical investment to renovate the Port Authority Bus Terminal, we’re now one major step closer to delivering the federal dollars needed to modernize one of our area’s most important transportation hubs. Read at NJ.com.
7. Protecting Poll Workers Ahead of the Election.
- Ahead of the election, I announced new action to protect election workers and keep our polling places secure against threats of violence and harassment. I refuse to stand by while extremists threaten to harm local poll workers in our communities—men and women who are the backbone of our democracy. Read at InsiderNJ.
8. Providing Lifesaving Early-Detection Cancer Tests to Firefighters.
- I am grateful to Sens. George Helmy and Cory Booker for introducing my bipartisan FIRE Cancer Act in the Senate to save lives and provide early-detection cancer tests at no cost to all firefighters, both professional and volunteer, across the country. Read at Shore News.
9. Providing Justice and Accountability to Victims of Terrorism.
- I’m fighting to pass commonsense bipartisan legislation to support the victims of state-sponsored terror attacks, like those from 9/11, and their families. We must ensure victims and their families are never forgotten. Read at JNS.
10. Leading the Effort to Award Billie Jean King the Congressional Medal of Honor.
- I am honored that the House passed bipartisan legislation I helped lead to honor Billie Jean King—a trailblazing hero, incredible champion, and tireless fighter for equality and women’s rights. Read at WRNJ.
11. Hosting “Cup of Joe with Josh” Town Halls.
- As always, I am grateful to meet with Fifth District residents and talk about the issues that matter to our families and communities.
Please don’t forget to follow us on X and on Facebook and please reach out to me at [email protected] if you need anything.
I’d also be grateful if you’d consider contributing here to support our efforts to deliver commonsense leadership.
Thank you.
Yours,
Josh
