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.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about new threats to Medicare. I want to highlight fresh reports that the U.S. Senate is now considering making big cuts to Medicare and Medicare Advantage as they debate their budget package.

Dear Friend:

Recently, I led my colleagues in Congress seeking money for a critical cause: fighting cancer among firefighters. I wanted to highlight this important issue.

Our firefighters are always there, always standing on the frontlines.  

During the pandemic, they kept our communities safe even as 180 firefighters fell to the virus. And when Hurricane Ida unleashed catastrophic flooding in our communities, our fire heroes donned scuba gear and rescued hundreds of our neighbors. 

Dear Friend:

A new President will now lead Poland. As your member of Congress, I hope President Karol Nawrocki will now strengthen the important relationship between the United States and Poland.

Dear Friend: 

A new President will now lead South Korea. As your member of Congress, I hope President Lee Jae-myung will now strengthen the important relationship between the United States and South Korea.

South Korea is one of the most vibrant democracies in the world and among America’s most vital partners. I will explore all opportunities in office to work with our Korean community and South Korea's government. I look forward to Mr. Lee’s tenure solidifying the ties between the United States and South Korea even further.
