In 1958, 73% of Americans trusted the federal government. Today it's 17%. Here's how we fix it: ban stock trading in Congress, ban corporate PAC money, close the revolving door to lobbying, restore the Voting Rights Act, and overturn Citizens United.

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.
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.
Our democracy is breaking under the influence of billionaires who’ve bought the system to serve themselves instead of working families. I'm running to change that by rejecting corporate PAC money, denouncing dark money, and fighting to end Citizens United. The voters should decide our elections.
It doesn’t feel like America anymore. Over the last few days at Delaney Hall, I felt that more than ever. I saw fear, frustration, and people who no longer trust the institutions that are supposed to serve them. Tomorrow is Election Day, and I’m ready to fight for that change in congress.
I believe Citizens United opened the door to too much money and influence in our politics. People have felt the consequences of that for years. If we want to restore trust in government, we need real reform—which is why I rejected corporate PAC money and support banning congressional stock trading.
Since it's the last day of the quarter, I'm really supposed to be on the phones all day! However, I can’t help but to sneak some time in with Sienna. She’s asking if you can help us out before our deadline at midnight? secure.actblue.com/donate/bvig%...
Thank you to Tewksbury Township's former Committee Candidate, Deb Bonomi, for being such a strong supporter of our campaign. Deb knows that the people in CD-7 need better representation in Washington. We can flip this seat, and I will always be a fighter for the people of this district.
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.
Child care is one of the biggest barriers families are facing right now. If we want to support working people and grow our economy, making it more accessible isn’t optional—it’s essential. Read my full plan at varelaforcongress.com/childcare.

Thank you, Piper. This unpopular truth has to see the light. Data centers will not employ folks from the community directly after they are built. Routine maintenance doesn’t require more than a dozen techs at even the largest centers. There is no product like a warehouse or factory. No packaging.
