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

When people start questioning a system where members of Congress leave office and become lobbyists. It creates a disconnect between public service and trust. For people to believe in government, we should be encouraging public service—not turning Congress into a pipeline to corporate influence.
Thank you to @njspotlightnews.org for the opportunity to speak. I discussed the challenges facing NJ-07 and why this moment calls for leadership that is ready to show up and advocate for NJ-07.
When I’m out in the district, I see how these decisions impact working families. Cutting investments in renewable energy and green infrastructure doesn’t just hurt the environment — it costs jobs, slows innovation, and weakens economic growth when we should be building a stronger economy for all.
After the 2024 election, I spent a lot of time reflecting on everything I had done to help—at a certain point, I realized I wanted to do more. The more conversations I had and the more I thought about what this district needed, the more I felt called to step up and run to flip this seat.
It was great to be in Flemington yesterday, knocking on doors and listening to voters! 48 days until the primary and we'll be hustling all the way through the finish line. Keep an eye out for me in your town soon!
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.
455,000 women left the workforce in 2025. The #1 reason? Childcare. Working mothers earn 35% less than fathers. The Surgeon General calls it a crisis. My plan to solve this: $10/day childcare for the middle class and 6 months paid maternity leave. Read the full plan: varelaforcongress.com/childcare
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.
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.
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.
California Gov Gavin Newsom: So, we have to be, dare I say it, & I’m sorry, Democrats, that we have to be as ruthless as our opposition. We do. We have to win. It’s all on the line. I’m done winning arguments with all due respect to the niceties. It feels good, but we’re going to lose our republic.

There’s a reason Trump had his primetime meltdown. Polls have Trump’s approval at a second-term low of 36%, his approval among independents in the 20s, and his support among Republicans falling. This is the fear response of a politically weak, lame-duck president as his movement begins to unravel.

In the margins, God lifts the meek, revealing Christ's love for every unnoticed soul. Luke 19:8 - "But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.

Seeing a report in VAERS doesn’t mean a vaccine caused it. VAERS is an early warning system where anyone can submit a report, and entries aren’t proof of side effects. Scientists use VAERS to spot patterns that may need study. Vaccines are among the most closely monitored medical products in the US.
