Friend,
The moment Nellie Pou got to Washington, she didn't waste any time showing us who she really answers to. She signed up with the Congressional Progressive Caucus — the same caucus stacked with self-declared Democratic Socialists pushing government-run healthcare, defunding the police, abolishing ICE, and a far-left agenda that has nothing to do with the hardworking families of Passaic, Bergen, and Hudson counties.
Think about that. NJ-09 is a district split right down the middle. We need a Congresswoman who works for us. Instead, we got someone who fell in line with the most radical, socialist wing of her own party the second she landed in DC.
That's not who we are in NJ-09. We're small business owners, cops and firefighters, parents working two jobs to give their kids a better life. We don't need the government to run everything. We need lower costs, safer streets, and someone who will fight for the American Dream — not trade it away to score points with the Socialist Left.
I know this district. I was a teen mom who earned my GED, put myself through Rutgers, and worked my way into a career in the U.S. Treasury. I didn't do that so Washington politicians could hand my hard work over to a government-knows-best agenda. As a Clifton Councilwoman, I've fought for fiscal responsibility and for working families — not for a caucus, not for a party label, and certainly not for a socialist agenda.
NJ-09 deserves a Congresswoman who puts people first, not politics. That's the fight I'm in, and it's why Nellie Pou and her allies in Washington are already coming after me with everything they've got.
Will you chip in $15 right now to help me push back and take this district back for NJ-09 families — not the socialist left?
Fighting for you,
Rosie Pino
Meet Rosie Pino:
Councilwoman Rosie Pino is a proud wife, mom, educator, community leader, and Clifton City Councilwoman. Her story embodies the American Dream. The daughter of immigrants, she has worked hard her entire life to break barriers, achieve success, and build a brighter future for her family.
Over the past decade, Rosie has dedicated herself to serving our community and fighting for the forgotten men and women of New Jersey who have been left behind by career politicians in both parties. She ran for local office and founded several nonprofits to protect the American Dream and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to thrive and prosper. She is a fighter who will always put people ahead of politics and a proven leader who will deliver results for hardworking New Jerseyans.
Rosie Pino was born in the Bronx to blue-collar Ecuadorean immigrant parents, one of six children. In many ways, Rosie could have easily become a statistic. She was primarily raised by a single mother and dropped out of high school after having her first child. However, Rosie's mom instilled in her a tenacious work ethic and a belief in the American Dream. Channeling that work ethic, Rosie went back to school. She completed her GED and proudly earned her bachelor's degree in Finance from Rutgers University, all while working multiple jobs to support her family. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, she joined the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a bank examiner. In that role, she played a pivotal part in assessing the health of banks and auditing their performance.
Rosie never planned on getting involved in politics, but she felt called to serve. Recalling the importance that education played in her own life and driven by a desire to ensure Clifton's children receive a quality education, Rosie decided to run for Board of Education. Though she came up short in her first run, Rosie was elected to the Clifton Board of Education in 2013.
During her two terms on the Board of Education, Rosie was an effective advocate for our children. She fought tirelessly to ensure the city provided students with a top-notch education while maintaining fiscal responsibility. She helped invest over $8 million in capital improvements and allocated more than $3 million for children's safety, all while ensuring the school budget remained under the 2% tax cap.
In 2018, Rosie felt called to serve in a new capacity. Looking around and seeing how many of her fellow Clifton residents were being left behind and forgotten, she decided to run for Clifton City Council. Rosie energized voters and won, making history as the first minority elected to the Clifton City Council. On the City Council, Rosie has been a staunch advocate for middle and working-class New Jerseyans. She has been a tireless advocate for local small businesses and economic development, providing residents with the opportunity to achieve their own American Dream.
In addition to her work on the Clifton City Council, Rosie is deeply involved in the community through her leadership in several nonprofit organizations. She is the founder of Latino Leaders of Clifton, a civic organization dedicated to empowering and uniting the Latino community. She is also the founder of Team PINO (Providing Individuals New Opportunities), a non-partisan initiative aimed at breaking the cycles of poverty and hopelessness by collaborating with businesses and elected officials to effect real, positive change. She is also the founder and executive director of ECHO (Educated Communities Help Others), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting a culture of learning and opportunity.
In her rare free time, Rosie volunteers with local charitable organizations. A cancer survivor herself, Rosie volunteers with the Red Hat Angels/Relay for Life, supporting cancer research and awareness efforts. She also serves on the board of the Theater League of Clifton and is a PTO President.
Rosie and her husband Eric are blessed with a modern day blended family of 11 beautiful children, two of whom are adopted from the foster care system. They reside in Clifton, where Rosie has lived for over 30 years.
