When you're on the floor of the House of Representatives in the Democratic caucus, I like to say it feels like New Jersey. You have all different opinions, you have all different ideas.

I constantly hear from residents throughout my community about the need for common sense action in Congress to reduce gun violence.

Harmful Algal Blooms are a serious environmental and economic threat to New Jersey.
