Thank you Hoboken & Jersey City! We truly did it!
For now all I will simply say is I am deeply honored to be your Democratic Party nominee — along with @katiebrennan_32 — for Assembly! We look forward to working hand in hand with fellow Democrats to secure victory in November.
To our Hindu, Sikh, and Nepalese neighbors across New Jersey, happy Diwali, Bandi Chhor Divas, and Tihar! Wishing all who are celebrating a peaceful holiday with family and friends.
Go @RonBautistaNJ !

☑️Democrat Zachary Mullock has been elected to Congress from New Jersey's 2nd district, unseating four-term Republican Jeff Van Drew.
Congrats @RebeccaForNJ07 !!
She did it!! Congratulations @RebeccaForNJ07 on your historic win in NJ-7. New Jersey is going to be sending a fantastic public servant and dedicated leader to Washington next year. Excited to work with her!

The logical endpoint of Haley Stevens' politics.
Representative Haley Stevens is a courageous leader who deserves the respect of every Michigan voter. She has conducted herself with nothing but class since the Democratic primary, a primary where a majority of voters did not vote for her party’s nominee.
She was absolutely right to call on Abdul El-Sayed to denounce the Rebellion PAC ad and she was right to call on him to apologize for espousing the same hateful ideology behind it.
Representative Stevens’ statement expressed a hope that Abdul El-Sayed “had heard the deep concerns of the Jewish Community.” It is as shameful as it is disappointing that his response to her clearly shows that he does not care about those concerns.
In her statement, the Congresswoman says, “ the Jewish and African-American communities of my district deserve to have someone show up for them, rather than fight over them.”
I agree with her and my campaign is about being there, showing up and defending these communities and all Michiganders.
Last month's nor'easter flooded parts of Liberty State Park, one of the most popular parks in all New Jersey. @NewJerseyDEP is putting together a plan to make LSP more resilient to worsening storms and climate disasters, and they want to hear from YOU!

Fully agree @AudreyTruschke !
Our kids deserve to go to school freely and without fear of being questioned by masked federal agents. This dystopian scene in North Bergen is just the latest in ICE's streak of lawlessness and violation of our rights.
As a parent, I fear for the families of North Bergen who experienced infringement on their rights. It could have easily been any of our children who may not fit the description of what this administration considers "American".
If the federal government seeks to attack our freedom here in New Jersey, then it's up to us at the state level to protect our rights and defend our communities. We need to take every precaution at the local and state level to prevent this from continuing to happen.
“The ongoing presence of masked ICE agents in our community is continuing to cause widespread fear and outrage among North Bergen residents,” North Bergen officials said. Read more here 👉 mrf.lu/2bb_n
I am horrified by the mass shooting attempt at a Hindu temple in Aurora, IL today.
This was not random. The would-be shooter wrote a manifesto full of white supremacist hate aimed at the Hindu community. That hate is real, it is growing, and it must be named and confronted.
It's the same anti-Indian hatred and fear-mongering being spread at the highest levels of our federal government by the president and his white supremacist advisers. Talk of the "third world" and "Great Replacement" conspiracy stokes the flames of hatred and causes deranged individuals to take violent actions against innocent people. There should be no mistaking the root causes of this near-tragedy.
As a Sikh American, I know that no family should have to wonder whether they will be safe at prayer. People of every faith have the right to worship in peace and without fear in America. And to the Hindu and Indian American communities in Aurora and here in New Jersey: we stand with you.

The largest segment of the Loew’s Jersey Theatre marquee was lifted into place overnight. The new signage was designed to replicate the original from when the theatre first opened on September 28, 1929.
Another step closer to the restored building opening in November!
This is a serious affront to the people of New Jersey and the rule of law in our state. ICE has been holding people in Roxbury all summer without any public notice or official documentation. The contractor who converted the warehouse was told by MAGA tyrant Stephen Miller to make the warehouse as inhumane as possible.
ICE cannot lie to state and federal officials about holding our residents captive with no accountability. I urge state authorities and federal elected officials to take every measure necessary to do oversight, conduct investigations, and free any remaining detainees at Roxbury.
A $129.3M ICE warehouse in Roxbury, N.J., has held people all summer, neighbors told NPR. It has never shown up in ICE's published detention statistics, at least through July. What ICE's own facility data show, and miss: kevinmcnellis.com/posts/ice_…

Really enjoyed running into old friends, and making new ones, at Hoboken’s River City Fest yesterday! Great job to our city staff in running an excellent event.
“When we set high fuel efficiency standards, we cut the carbon emissions that contribute to climate change while saving families money at the pump—proof that protecting the environment and consumers go hand in hand.”
Thank you to AG Davenport and the @NewJerseyOAG for taking on Trump and Big Oil to help lower gas prices at the pump while protecting the environment.

This weekend, communities along the Jersey Shore and around the state saw intense storms and flooding that destroyed homes, businesses, and public infrastructure. Weather events like these are only becoming more frequent and disastrous, and our state needs the climate resiliency infrastructure to fight back.
New Jersey can take action to build up our flood resiliency by investing in smart infrastructure like resiliency parks, permeable pavement and flood protection barriers, along with nature based solutions, such as living shorelines, rain gardens and bioswales. Many of these solutions were implemented by my administration in Hoboken to prevent disastrous flooding like we saw during Hurricane Sandy.
Our state is at great risk of worsening floods and disasters, especially our communities on the shore. If we don’t act now, the Jersey Shore we know and love may end up underwater. I’ll continue pushing for these investments in Trenton so we can better prepare for the climate disasters ahead.
Enjoyed a site visit to Jewel Electric Supply in Jersey City earlier today! They are a local family owned and operated business that partners with PSE&G’s energy efficiency program to create jobs, support our local economy, and advance energy efficiency in New Jersey.
Recently released polling data shows:
1. 74% of all likely voters support oil & gas companies paying a share of climate costs (like the ones we will be paying for this weekend) including 61% of Republicans voters;
2. Voters overwhelmingly - 78% - support Climate Superfund legislation to share the costs of climate risk; and
3. Most voters would be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports a Climate Superfund bill.
The data is clear. Voters overwhelmingly want polluters to pay. Don't buy into the disinformation of the climate denial fraud operation, and the dark money corruption operation that the fossil fuel industry runs to scare away politicians. Let's pass the Make Polluters Pay Act - the time is now.
dataforprogress.org/blog/202…
Honored to stand in solidarity before yesterday’s voting session with the advocates for the Make Polluters Pay bill. This is a common sense, environmental justice bill that will lower costs to New Jersey residents from extreme weather. We didn’t cause the problem - so why should we pay for the solution?
I hope my Democratic colleagues know that a vast majority of residents support this bill, and aren’t fooled by the misinformation of the fossil fuel companies and their front people. This is not an opinion. This is based on recent poll data I've reviewed, including in swing districts in New Jersey.
Ultimately, this is about common sense. It's time for our Democratic caucus to show leadership and do the right thing. Let’s get it done now.
