Families in NJ see the effects of climate change every day. That's why we took action when the EPA announced that they planned to rescind the Endangerment Finding, which forms the bedrock of the agency's work to protect our communities against the effects of climate change.

My New Jersey colleague and friend @menendez.house.gov stopped by my office to chat about his resolution honoring Bruce Springsteen's birthday today.

Shana Tova to our Jewish friends and neighbors in New Jersey and beyond! Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Rosh Hashanah filled with peace, prosperity, and good health.

The Trump Admin cut over $2B from the Digital Equity Act, denying seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, the tools they need to thrive. House Democrats will keep fighting to expand access to broadband and to hold this Admin accountable.

We must all fight to build a cleaner economy, harness new technology like AI, and ensure no community is left behind. Honored to speak with CHCI last week on how we'll make it happen - together.

We must use every tool available to tackle the climate crisis and protect our environment. That's why I joined 100+ of my colleagues in urging the EPA to abandon their plans to repeal vehicle emission rules—because reducing emissions paves the way for a more sustainable future.

Democratic lawmakers urge Trump to drop plan to kill vehicle emission limits

More than 100 Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday urged the Trump administration to abandon plans to repeal vehicle emission rules.

Every parent has a diaper horror story. That’s why we introduced legislation that would make it easier for small businesses to install diaper changing stations in their public restrooms, increasing parents’ access to family-friendly amenities in their communities.

📍Hudson County 4th Annual Strides for Safety 5k 🏃‍♂️ Proud to cheer runners on this morning and raise awareness on gun violence across our country. As a member of House GVP, I’m working every day to implement common sense gun safety reforms to stop this epidemic.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 20(source)

Weakening clean air protections while also cutting healthcare puts lives at even greater risk. It makes no sense. It’s dangerous. And we are going to hold Republicans accountable.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 20(source)

Eroding the Clean Air Act is completely reckless. House Republicans already voted to strip healthcare away from 15 MILLION people which will impact families living in communities hit hardest by pollution.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 19(source)

We will not relent in this fight. 🚁🔨

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 19(source)

Residents across Hudson County have been clear: the noise & disruption from non-essential helicopters is unacceptable. I commend County Exec Craig Guy & Mayor Doyle for holding HHI accountable. We’ll keep pushing for stronger oversight & the peace our residents deserve.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 18(source)

The attack on the freedom of the press from the Trump Admin, specifically FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, is completely unhinged. House Democrats stand united and will fight back against this blatant overreach.

I’m proud to support this legislation and to stand alongside families like theirs in the fight for more answers and stronger rare disease legislation, so every child has the chance at a brighter future.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 18(source)

I've had the privilege of meeting with New Jerseyans who live with the reality of raising a child with a rare disease every single day. The Give Kids a Chance Act will bring life-saving treatments to children faster and give families hope.
