People don’t measure the economy by the stock market—they measure it by whether they can afford groceries, rent, child care, or gas. If we want to reconnect with working and middle-class voters, we have to start by listening to them again.

Immigrants are being used as political scapegoats while working families continue struggling with rising costs. Immigrant communities contribute enormously to this country and its economy. We need to stop dividing people for political gain and start focusing on what families are facing every day.
Affordable childcare, stronger public education, and real investment in our communities aren’t handouts — they’re part of building a stronger economy and a better future for everyone.
End Citizens United just named Tom Kean Jr. one of the most corrupt members of Congress. $679K in corporate PAC money. 141 stock trades worth $2.6M. All while claiming he opposes congressional stock trading. NJ-07 deserves better.
This race comes down to something simple: showing up and standing with your community when it matters. That hasn’t been happening—and people in NJ-07 are paying attention. I’m running for Congress because NJ-07 deserves better.
Clean energy is that same opportunity sitting right in front of us. Instead of gutting renewables and green energy tax credits, we should be doubling down and investing in the infrastructure for success. We've done it before, and we should do it again.
The reason voters don't trust Congress is the result of a broken incentive structure that's gone unchallenged for decades. Term limits. No stock trading. No revolving door between Congress and lobbying. That's how we strengthen our democracy. That's how we get our country back on track.
Grateful for the chance to speak this weekend about the challenges facing NJ-07 and what it’s going to take to move forward. Thank you to Al Punto NY and Victor J. Solano for the space and the conversation.
Affordability isn’t a partisan issue. Families across the country are feeling the pressure of rising costs, and there are common sense reforms with bipartisan support that Congress should be able to act on. I believe people are tired of the gridlock and want leaders focused on real solutions.
One of the things I’m most proud of in this race is the coalition we’ve built. Today, we have a chance to turn this coalition into real change. Polls are open from 6 AM to 8 PM. Find your polling location at voter.svrs.nj.gov/polling-plac... and GO VOTE VARELA!
Gas prices are skyrocketing because of Trump’s illegal war—but Tom Kean Jr. is nowhere to be found. You deserve a representative who will show up everywhere and fight back against Trump’s higher prices. Thanks for having me today, Hackettstown

Harry Enten: How delicious for Democrats this morning. In 2024, Donald Trump won Florida's HD-87 by 11 points. Look at this swing, all the way to the left. The Democrat winning it by 2 points in the special election. Democrats are able to win in Donald Trump's backyard.
