Congratulations to Rabbi Kaplan and the entire Chabad of NW Bergen community on this joyous milestone! This new center will be a place of faith, learning, and gathering for Jersey Families for generations to come, and I’m proud to stand with our Jewish community as we build and strengthen it.

Today, America lost a giant. Dolores Huerta gave this country “Sí se puede,” three words that have carried generations through their toughest struggles. She spent her life standing up for farmworkers, working families, and women everywhere. A true American hero, she changed our nation with her courage, and her fight will live on in all of us. My thoughts are with her family. May her memory be a blessing.

This ad is vile antisemitism, plain and simple. Abdul El-Sayed needs to stop hiding. He must condemn it, and tell his friend to take it down. Scapegoating Jews is one of the oldest tropes in the book, and it has led to violence from the pogroms to the Holocaust to our communities today. Silence isn’t leadership. Abdul needs to call out this hate. No excuses, no hiding.

Nothing says fall in Bergen County like seeing our neighbors come together in our local communities. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and local businesses who made the Fort Lee Fall-O-Ween Spooktacular, Northvale Town Day, and Norwood Day these events so special for our families!

Eight years ago today, 11 worshippers were murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in U.S. history. We remember them, we stand united against antisemitism, and we will never forget. May their memories be a blessing.

Auto theft isn’t just a property crime. It’s often run by organized rings that move stolen cars across state lines and out through the ports. I reintroduced the bipartisan CARS Act wth @RepMalliotakis to give law enforcement the ability to connect the dots in real time. https://t.co/2r0QRiQBgc

Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East. Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.

Big news for Wanaque: I just clawed back $300,000 in federal Homeland Security funding from Washington for Wanaque first responders to upgrade radios and expand training. Your federal tax dollars are coming home to Jersey. I’ll always get the backs of our first responders. https://t.co/yaEcDuQoUH

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
