Friend, this is Congresswoman Nellie Pou. I am the first Latina to represent New Jersey in Congress, one of 13 Democrats who won a district Donald Trump carried last cycle, and among the newest additions to the DCCC Frontline list.

If you don't have time to keep reading I understand. Please consider splitting a contribution between Defend Democracy Now and me today to help fuel our efforts to take back the House and stop Trump's reckless agenda in its tracks.

Being added to Frontline confirms what we already knew: Mike Johnson and the NRCC are coming after us. Why? Because Donald Trump won in NJ-09, once a reliable blue seat.

But here's what else Defend Democracy Now and I know:

• He and Mike Johnson have clear plans to cut Medicaid to give more tax breaks to their billionaire friends
• Elon Musk recklessly slashing Federal programs and services won't stop anytime soon, and Social Security is coming up on the chopping block
• The best way to stop all of them? Taking back the House.

Taking back the House starts by protecting districts like NJ-09. Can you split a contribution between Defend Democracy Now and me today to make sure we reject Trump, Elon, and Johnson next fall?

Thanks for having our backs.
