Dear Friend,

Recently, I was in Lyndhurst to celebrate the opening of the town’s new train station. The lovely new station is the culmination of years of work by federal, state, and local officials, and most of all: determined Lyndhurst citizens.

To call the old Lyndhurst station a relic would be kind. The old station was built the year New Jerseyan Woodrow Wilson moved into the White House – 1913! People in Lyndhurst knew it needed to be replaced – and we worked for years to make it happen.

Dear Friend,

Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported that April was the worst single month for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1932. This would be the lowest point for the stock market since the worst days of the Great Depression.

This news follows a fresh Gallup poll which finds that Americans’ pessimism in the state of our economy is at its highest point in decades. At the same moment, the power of the U.S. dollar is plummeting. 

Dear Friend,

Recent news articles are reporting that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is planning to end most of its routine food safety inspections. This would be a terrible mistake.

The safety of large parts of the American food supply has long been regulated by the federal government. These safety measures cover foods you eat and drink every day, for example cereal, milk, fruit juice, and peanut butter and jelly.

Dear Friend,

A few days ago I was very happy to hold our office’s first town hall event with members of our district. 

A total of over 13,000 residents in our district were able to join the telephone town hall. Men and women from our 35 cities and towns connected from home, coming back from work, and one gentleman I spoke with even called in while riding the bus!

Dear Friend,

President Trump’s decision to impose worldwide tariffs against dozens of countries is a mistake that is already negatively impacting countless Americans. The coming damage will harm our country and make daily life more unaffordable.

Dear Friend,

After a court recently issued a decision against one of his policies, Donald Trump commented on the “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge” and added that “This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”

I oppose these statements – and so do others. 

Dear Friend,

The executive order issued yesterday by Donald Trump seeking to close the United States Department of Education is a big mistake that threatens America’s future. I am committed to fight against this plan.

The impact of shuttering the Department of Education would be catastrophic for New Jersey schools and communities. 

Dear Friend,

President Trump’s recent firings of the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and commissioners on the Federal Trade Commission are major mistakes and attacks on vital consumer protections in America. They should be reversed.

Americans are badly squeezed by higher prices. No one likes feeling ripped off whenever they buy eggs and cereal at the grocery store. I understand that anger and frustration. These agencies play a vital role in lowering costs by going after bad actors that exploit Americans.
