@aswtucker New Jersey must protect the fundamental right to vote, especially for Black and Brown voters. Please support a strong version of the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act of New Jersey (A4083/S3009)

Hey radical left: How many millions of liberal Democrats like me — we who have spent our entire lives fighting for economic equality and civil and human rights for all — will you push away from the party to serve your justification of Antisemitic violence around the world?

Again, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS reached a bipartisan border deal. But this is how Mike Johnson decided to respond. They aren’t engaged in any serious policy making whatsoever. It’s all revenge politics & it’s revolting.

So, let me get this straight: The Senate has reached a BIPARTISAN border deal, but “Speaker” Mike Johnson just said he refuses to even consider it. NONE of this is President Biden’s or Democrats’ fault. This is all on Republicans & it’s beneath contempt. They simply don’t care.

Proud of this work! Homelessness is on the rise across the country. In NJ, eviction is the second leading cause of displacement & homelessness. Let’s stop this! northjersey.com/story/news/202…

@NJPolicy @MarleinaU Precisely! This is why more towns should adopt crisis intervention diversion programs like Maplewood’s - a model for the state in diverting substance abuse, addiction, mental health, homelessness, etc away from law enforcement and into social services intervention & support.

Last night we passed the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance for #JerseyCity. This is some of the most progressive housing policy adopted in the country not just the state. Perspective NYC + others TRYING to do this and we just passed it.

NJ is among the most expensive states in the nation to find child care. I’m fighting to bring costs down for families. I introduced the Child Care for Every Community Act to ensure no family is forced to pay more than 7% of their income in child care. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nj-…

In New Jersey, we will always work tirelessly to protect our LGBTQ+ youth from discrimination. That’s why we’re challenging the Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to out LGBTQ+ students to their parents. bit.ly/3Wdbfa4

Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to "out" LGBTQ students to their parents violates the rights of our students — jeopardizing their well-being and mental health. I support @NewJerseyOAG in challenging the Board's policy.

@Martina Unless I’m misreading you, it’s disappointing that you’re feeding transphobia after the sexism and homophobia you experienced so publicly. You should be an ally not part of the problem. Shame on you. #bigot
