Dear friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the continuing tragic war in Ukraine waged by Russia. This week, President Donald Trump signaled that he would support sending new support to Ukraine. This is long overdue.

For three and a half years, Russia has been committing mass murder and atrocities against the Ukrainian people. Recently, Russia has intensified its attacks on civilians. The nightly bombings by Russia are intended to rain terror on Ukrainians and designed to kill women, children, and other innocent people.

Dear Friend: 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my recent visit to the Cliffside Park Senior Activity Center. It was an honor to attend a luncheon with Bergen County seniors and we had an helpful discussion about seniors’ priorities in our community.

During our time together, we talked about the budget law recently enacted by Congress. Many of the seniors I spoke with expressed concerns about the law. Many are worried it could slash their benefits.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you with an update about the Social Security Administration.

A few days ago, Congress passed the so-called One Big Beautiful Budget Bill Act. After its enactment, the Social Security Administration sent an email to millions of Americans celebrating the law’s passage and making false claims about the new law. This an unprecedented partisan, political act by the Social Security agency and is sadly misleading.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about veterans care. This week in Congress we debated the annual appropriations bill for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Because it would be harmful, I voted no and wanted to explain why.

The measure we voted on includes funding for America’s veterans. Unfortunately, the Republican-sponsored bill would privatize medical care for veterans by transferring billions of dollars to private hospitals and clinics.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you with an update on an issue of great importance to our community: the possible restoration of the State and Local Tax Deduction, or SALT.

As you probably know, the state and local deduction was capped at just $10,000 by the tax law enacted by congressional Republicans and signed into law by President Trump in 2017. The state and local deduction has been used by New Jersey’s middle class families for generations.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about a new serious threat to America's national lands. On May 27, the Trump Justice Department issued a legal opinion claiming that the President is allowed to abolish any of America’s national monuments. This is an outrage.

Dear Friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the use of the U.S. military in California and on the streets of our nation’s capital. I want to discuss why I think both are dangerous developments for America.

This weekend, the government will stage a large-scale military parade including tanks through the streets of Washington, D.C. The parade is officially marking the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. It is also being held on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
