We need to hold the Trump Administration accountable while also solving the issues we are all facing in our everyday lives.
The current Congress has completely abdicated its responsibility to be an equal branch of government. Right now flipping the House is critical to provide some form of accountability to the current Administration and restore our checks and balances.
Affordability. As a mom of two, I fully understand the challenges of balancing work & family while navigating inflation and the rising cost of living. I’m a pragmatic, common sense leader who looks for common ground to work with people to make life better for all of us. I will pursue policies in Congress that will help bring down costs for families in New Jersey. I have put together a robust policy platform addressing these issues with concrete solutions:
On Energy: tinyurl.com/RB4CFightRecordEnergyCosts
On Housing: tinyurl.com/RB4CSolveOurHousingCrisis
On Families: tinyurl.com/RB4CPuttingNJ07FamiliesFirst
Families are suffering across this district as a result of the cuts in the OBBB and the failure to extend the ACA subsidies.
To lower energy costs, I will fight to modernize our grid, and invest in reliable renewable energy. I will also push for stronger consumer protections, transparency and accountability with grid management companies so families across NJ-07 aren’t hit with sudden spikes on their utility bills.
On housing, I will focus on increasing supply and reducing the barriers that are driving up costs. This means ending the Trump trade war on day 1 that is driving up the cost of housing. We also need to support first-time homebuyers and expand access to portable mortgages to make it easier for people to downsize.
To support families, I will fight to cap child care costs at 7% of income and use tax credits to cover the difference for families. I will also fight for 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave, paid sick leave, and universal pre-k.
When I got out of the military, I wanted to continue to serve to make lives better for people. I worked in the healthcare sector including in women’s health, obesity, and gastrointestinal care, to increase access to care for patients, increase quality and drive down costs.
Tom Kean Jr. has raised healthcare costs on millions of Americans at a time when everything else is also getting more expensive. All to pay for tax breaks to billionaires. We need to undo these disastrous Medicaid cuts and extend the ACA subsidies so that working families can actually afford healthcare. We also need to focus on mental health parity to ensure that folks are able to get coverage for those services in the same way they can get physical care. Mental healthcare is healthcare.
I also support a public option for healthcare, because everyone should get to choose if they want to stay on their current insurance plan, or buy into a public option that may reduce costs for them.
I support comprehensive immigration reform that secures our border and provides a path to citizenship for those here. We also must legally codify the status of Dreamers and give them a path to citizenship. Instead this President is deporting people who followed all of the rules and even sending back those who were granted entry into this country because they protected American soldiers aboard. We also need to ensure that agents are no longer allowed to wear masks, go without identification or body cameras, and enter homes without judicial warrants.
My position is simple: the decision to have a child is one of the most personal decisions someone can make, and it should be made by a woman, in consultation with her healthcare professional, not by politicians.
I support restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade at the federal level so that every woman in this country has the right to access abortion care, regardless of where she lives. Right now, we have a patchwork of laws that depend on your zip code, and that is not acceptable. Basic healthcare rights shouldn’t change when you cross a state line.
More broadly, reproductive healthcare includes access to contraception, IVF, maternal care, and the ability to receive safe, evidence-based medical treatment. I will fight to protect and expand access to all of it.
As a mom of two daughters, this is deeply personal to me. I refuse to accept a future where they have fewer rights than I did. When the system fails you, you don’t just accept it, you step up and fix it.
Strengthening climate resilience is about protecting people, lowering long-term costs, and ensuring our communities can withstand what’s already happening, not just what’s coming next.
First, we must harden infrastructure by investing in flood mitigation, stormwater systems, grid modernization, and resilient transportation. We’ve seen how extreme storms damage homes and businesses. Federal funding must upgrade aging systems while creating good-paying union jobs.
Second, we need to protect neighborhoods directly by helping homeowners retrofit or elevate homes, strengthening building codes, and investing in natural defenses like wetlands.
Third, we must shift how we fund disasters, prioritizing prevention over costly rebuilding.
Fourth, investing in clean, domestic energy strengthens grid reliability, lowers costs, and creates economic opportunity.
Finally, better coordination across federal, state, and local levels will ensure faster access to funding and more effective responses.
The President has attacked our electoral system again and again, most recently through an executive order designed to make it harder to vote and by backing the SAVE Act, which would impose new documentation requirements and create additional barriers for eligible voters—particularly seniors, students, and women. These measures risk disenfranchising lawful voters under the guise of election security.
Our Congressman has been silent as President Trump continues to do nearly everything in his power to undermine faith in our electoral process. Instead of speaking out against policies that could make it harder for eligible Americans to participate, he has failed to defend the integrity and accessibility of our elections. We need leaders who will stand up for the right to vote, ensure we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and support the dedicated, often thankless volunteers who make our elections possible, not leaders who stay quiet and spread false claims about the 2020 election.
