Dear friend:
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to let you know about a new nearly $1 million federal grant our congressional office has secured for Kearny.
This new funding will be used by Kearny to remove and replace lead pipes in the town. Every year for nearly the entire next decade, Kearny is replacing about 550 lead pipe water services. The pipes that will be replaced thanks to this grant include those covering Brighton Avenue, Rose Street, Park Avenue, and Park Place.
Dear friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my recent visit to Edgewater and our luncheon with Edgewater senior citizens.
As a new member of Congress, meeting with our neighbors is so important to me.

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about our recent celebration of India’s Independence Day.
Last week, I joined community leaders in Clifton to mark this important day and to celebrate the vital contributions of Indian Americans.

Indians around the world and here in America remain guided by Mahatma Gandhi’s message of truth and non-violence.

Dear friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the growing story around the Trump administration’s decision not to release all of the federal government's files related to the investigation of disgraced criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
The choice by Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Trump Justice Department to declare no proof of foul play in Epstein’s death and no broader evidence of wider crimes by those close to Epstein has outraged millions of Americans.
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.
