Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and one of the biggest drivers of opportunity in communities across the country. We should be doing more to support entrepreneurship, expand access to capital, and empower people who want to solve problems and create opportunity in their communities.

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.
There’s a difference between enforcement and overreach. Right now, we’re seeing resources expanded without clear priorities or accountability. We need to scale that back, reassess, and build a system that actually protects the people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At a moment like this, it takes more than the usual approach. It takes leadership that is clear, focused, and grounded in the needs of the people of NJ-07.
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.
