PATERSON, NJ – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) today blasted the Trump government for firing workers at the World Trade Center Health Program, a vital group tasked with providing health benefits to September 11, 2001 first responders.
Dear Friend:
The recent decision by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by billionaire Elon Musk, to fire hundreds of workers at the Federal Aviation Administration is an outrage.
Just weeks ago, America suffered its first major commercial plane crash in nearly 16 years. Additionally, recent American flight disasters in Philadelphia, Alaska, and now Toronto have caused injuries and claimed lives.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09), the Vice Ranking Member of the House Aviation Subcommittee, today assailed the Trump administration’s purges at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and warned of Elon Musk’s planned takeover of flight safety in America.
Dear Friend:
Over the past weeks, my office has been flooded with calls and messages from our neighbors across northern New Jersey expressing deep dismay about reports that the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk controls access to sensitive US Treasury records. These records contain sensitive financial data on American citizens and businesses.
I want you to know that I hear you, I share your worries, and I am taking actions to protect your privacy and financial security.
Dear Friend:

As your Congresswoman I will be dedicated every day to common sense solutions, thoughtful ideas, complete transparency, and delivering for our communities. I am writing to you today to introduce myself, outline what my office can do to help you, and detail how you can reach me.
