If you’ve opened a utility bill lately, you know costs are out of control. I helped deliver the biggest clean-energy investment in history – and now I’m running for Congress in NJ-12 to lower your bills and bring new energy to Washington. Let’s do this.

We have to invest in clean energy to lower our electric bills, create union jobs, and fight climate change. We don't have to choose between taking care of our present and taking care of our future - we can do it all, now.

I helped bring millions of dollars in clean energy investment home to NJ during my time working at DOE on the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, Trump is tearing those investments apart to fund ICE and tax cuts for billionaires.

Growing up, I learned that the language you speak and the neighborhood you grow up in often determines your destiny. I saw it firsthand in high school on student council. That inequality drives my politics today, and it’s why I’m running for Congress.

The Clarksville Bridge has been closed for MONTHS… and it's getting ridiculous. This isn’t just another road. It’s a key connection for families, commuters, and local businesses. I want to hear from you- how has the closure impacted your day-to-day?

January was the worst start of the year for layoffs since 2009. Over 100k people lost their jobs in just one month, and a lot of these roles aren't coming back. For my generation, the systems that decide our futures aren’t working for us. That’s why I’m running for Congress.

Huge congrats to @Analilia_Mejia on her NJ-11 primary win! Voters sent a clear message: they’re done with backroom deals and dark money. Now it’s time to bring this new energy to NJ-12, and I’m excited to make my case to the people who actually decide elections: the voters.

No trains left behind 🚆🚝🚉 Trump wants to gut Amtrak and NJ Transit, but I'm ready to fight for the critical investments we need to finally fix our trains.

This is deeply personal for me. I'm the child of immigrants who saw firsthand how our broken immigration system tore apart families and kept workers in the shadows long before Trump took office. We need to elect Democrats who can meet this moment.

I won’t accept useless half measures like “marking the vans” or “removing their face coverings.” What ICE is doing is not keeping us safe. It’s time to shut down this organization and rely on comprehensive, community-based measures to enforce our laws and protect our communities.

Now, every morning, thousands of New Jersey parents send their kids to school with their documents, passport cards, or birth certificates in their backpacks in case an ICE agent stops them for their accent or their appearance.

It’s time to abolish ICE and impeach Kristi Noem. Donald Trump gutted health care and clean energy funding to give tax cuts to the rich and unleash this lawless paramilitary force to terrorize, abduct, and murder our neighbors.

Thank you to the West Windsor Human Relations Council for having me at their MLK Day Event, and to the Muslim Center of Greater Princeton for inviting me to a talk on the history of Black Muslims. These events remind us of our solidarity when too many forces want to pull us apart

From Governor Sherrill's inaugural ball to MLK day events in West Windsor and Princeton, it's been a busy week filled with celebration and great conversations with the people of NJ-12.

I don't have to tell you that utility prices are soaring in NJ. To meet demand fast, we need new energy online ASAP, and solar is much faster than fossil fuels.Clean energy can cut emissions and lower your bills. Win-win.

ICE murdered a U.S. citizen before our eyes. When the Trump admin targets immigrants, it threatens all of us. We must stand together to protect our communities and fight an administration that divides us instead of helping working families facing high living costs.

So you agree… trains should work, food should be spicy, and politics should make life easier? Drop your ins & outs ⬇️

Mass deportations don’t lower costs, create housing, or stop drug abuse. ICE sows chaos by separating families and now killing innocent people. Republicans want you to blame immigrants while excusing the corporate greed and complacency that got us here. We won’t fall for it.

We don’t need to repeat the mistakes from the past. It’s time for a NEW generation to lead us into a new era.

Congress needs to act NOW to limit the President’s war powers. Wars for oil ≠ not real energy policy! We can lower energy costs through 1. Creating jobs for Americans to build solar, wind, and nuclear energy 2. Making EVs affordable and easy to charge 3. Funding mass transit

Your utility bills probably doubled or tripled this year. That’s exactly why I’m running for Congress. Because your bills are skyrocketing, and no one is taking action.
