When the Supreme Court narrows protections that have been in place for decades, it opens the door to real voter disenfranchisement. That’s why passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act isn’t just important—it’s necessary. If we want to protect our democracy, Congress has to act now.

I'm disgusted by how ICE is treating people in our communities. We've given agents sweeping authority without the training we'd demand of nearly any other agency that carries a badge—and the result is cruelty, fear, and families living in indecent conditions. The people of New Jersey deserve better.
51% of Americans live in childcare deserts—areas with little to no licensed care. I'm running to eliminate them by 2030 with federal construction grants and insurance reform. Check out my full childcare plan at www.varelaforcongress.com/childcare
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.
We need a Democrat who can build a broad coalition of voters from across the ideological spectrum and defeat Tom Kean Jr. I know I’m the best candidate to do that, which is why I proudly cast my vote today! Now it’s your turn: make sure you have a plan to vote by June 2nd. And please, vote Varela!!
Real representation means actually showing up. That's why our first 100 days include at least four town halls, visits to every county, and leadership councils made up of real people from across NJ-7. Because good policy comes from listening to the people living the experience.
Thank you to New Jersey Globe for hosting yesterday’s debate. I’ve spent my life fighting—for my education, for my family, for my community. This moment calls for leadership that’s willing to stand up and fight for affordability, health care, and democracy, and I am ready to take that fight.
Tom Kean Jr. stayed silent while ICE bought a warehouse in Roxbury, then introduced a grant program and wrote a letter four months too late asking for "careful consideration." I was fighting this on the front lines from day 1 because it was morally right, not politically convenient.
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.
At the end of the day, people want leaders who understand what they’re actually going through. Too many working and middle-class families feel disconnected from politics because they don’t feel heard. This race is about bringing in leadership that is focused on the issues people deal with every day.

So defensive! I won’t cut the Bari Weiss-produced 60 Minutes / CBS News any slack with their multiple-Maga coded blatherings, but I will give this to Norah O’Donnell — she certainly got under that paper-thin tangerine-tinted hide. Nice to see a little of the former decent journalist break through.

据路透报道,中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪5月结束了持续时间最长的一轮销量下滑,不过中国国内市场需求减弱以及竞争加剧的压力依然存在。 公司全球销量同比增长0.3%。路透社计算显示,比亚迪当月售出超过38.34万辆汽车。这是经历连续8个月销量收缩后首次恢复增长。 海外市场继续保持强劲增长,出口销量增长超过80%。欧洲和新兴市场对电动汽车需求增强。美以发动伊朗战争后,油价上涨,也推动需求增长。
