Dear Friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou. I was proud to visit Cliffside Park this morning to announce $1,092,000 in federal funding to strengthen the town’s water infrastructure.
Working with Mayor Thomas Calabrese, the Borough Council, and local officials, my office secured these funds to help replace broken sanitary pipes and improve the borough’s stormwater system.
Dear Friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my vote this week to halt the war with Iran.
The Defense Secretary says our commitment to our objectives grows as our advantages grow. The Secretary of State says this isn’t even a war. And President Trump says he’ll help choose the next leader of Iran. What’s the plan? What are our goals?

Dear Friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the start of America’s war with Iran.
This past weekend, the American military commenced attacks against the Iranian regime. Hostilities are continuing and are engulfing much for the region.
So far, at least six American servicemembers have been killed. I am hoping and praying for our brave military personnel, the people of Iran and all innocent people impacted by this violent conflict.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) today participated in a House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment hearing focused on the Water Resources Development Act.

WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09), the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Task Force overseeing World Cup security, served as Ranking Member at today’s hearing and demanded actions from the Trump administration over stalled funding, poor coordination, and mounting security concerns as the tournament rapidly approaches.

Dear Friend,
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you on a somber anniversary. Today marks four years since Russia launched its unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Four years of war. Four years of destruction. Four years of Ukrainians fighting for their independence, their democracy, and their survival.
Russia started this war. Russia alone is responsible for the violence and suffering that have followed.
Dear Friend,
