There are 27 million kids in this country that aren’t getting the care they need. That number is only going up. I designed MediKids to bring it down to zero.

That's why I opposed these cuts and have fought to expand access to nutritious meals for kids all year round. We must continue to fight so no child goes hungry. 2/2

As a father, it's devastating to see the impact Trump and Republicans' cuts to SNAP are having on our kids. Too many are at risk of losing the nutritious meals they need to stay healthy and focused – and parents don't need another thing to worry about as we go back to school. 1/2

Back to school means new opportunities, clubs, and classmates! But, as a parent, it also means doctor's appointments, physical exams, and hearing and vision tests. Every kid deserves to show up to school healthy and ready to learn. That's what MediKids is all about.

6 months in and Trump's chaotic war in Iran continues to wreak havoc on Americans' wallets. We're tired of paying the price for a war waged in our name but without our say.

I believe we can cure Alzheimer’s, and I will continue to fight to ensure that people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers get the support they need. 2/2

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Last year, I shared my dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis publicly, opening up about how it’s impacted me and my family. I know first-hand the challenges families and caregivers face, as well as the importance of investing in medical research. 1/2

On my recent visit to Delaney Hall, I saw that nothing's getting better – only worse. Shut Delaney Hall down NOW.

Being a caregiver shouldn't be catastrophically damaging to your bank account or your mental health. This is what I hear from so many families across this country.

When a child is in need of care, their family should never have to worry about their ability to afford it. Candace’s story is a moving testimony to why we need to pass MediKids.

As we remember the victims of these storms and the communities that were impacted, I’d like to thank the brave New Jerseyans who stepped up to help from managing evacuations to cleaning up our coastline. It’s hurricane season once again. We must ensure we’re prepared when disaster strikes. 2/2

Today marks the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ida in 2021. The devastation and tragic loss of life cannot be understated. 1/2

Following two years of record Amtrak ridership levels, it is clear that Americans want more trains and faster service. It's time to repair our aging infrastructure and meet this rising demand for rail travel. 2/2

Like millions of Americans, I rely on Amtrak to get where I need to go. One of the easiest ways to get from Jersey down to the Capitol is by train. When I sat down with Amtrak Board Director Rob Gleason, we discussed the importance of Amtrak's investment in New Jersey, and beyond. 1/2

Parents are being forced into impossible healthcare decisions to take care of their kids. MediKids fixes this.

Today marks 6 months of Trump's Iran War. 18 American servicemembers have died. More than 750 wounded. Costs are up from the grocery store to the pump. Farmers and small businesses can't plan for the future. 181 days to be worse off than we were before. It's long past time to end the war.

Here's a healthcare model I think could make a real difference and, with the help of MediKids, ensure all our kids get the care they need.

We do not need to be giving an already cruel, out-of-control agency electric shock gloves that come with a price tag of $20 million taxpayer dollars. That's why I'm demanding the Trump administration abandon this reckless plan. It's a waste of money and we deserve better.

No child should lose access to care, regardless of their parent’s financial situation. That’s why I introduced MediKids. I asked New Jerseyans to share their healthcare stories. This is Lauren’s.

Happy Healthcare Day of Action! I believe that everyone deserves healthcare, and that it's especially important for our younger and aging generations. That’s why I introduced MediKids, universal healthcare for children. No child should go without the care they need.

I stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. She’s had New Jerseyans’ backs. Now, we need to have hers.

Delighted to see that @princeton.edu is one of eight research institutes to receive NSF funding for the advancement of quantum science in the U.S. This is critical to building an Einstein Corridor across our state and another example of how NJ is leading the way on innovative technologies!

It's back-to-school season, which means it's time to plan those annual checkups! Healthy kids are ready to learn and succeed inside and outside the classroom. MediKids would guarantee healthcare for all kids and make your back-to-school to-do list that much easier.

Caring for our community and environment go hand in hand. Here's what I saw at the Watershed Institute in Pennington, NJ.

It was great to visit Bayonne Dry Dock, the largest dry dock in the northeastern U.S., that is helping us advance shipbuilding every single day. Investing in institutions like these is how we'll build an Einstein Corridor that creates opportunities and jobs for New Jersey.

On my tour, I heard directly from healthcare providers about the negative impact of Medicaid cuts and how my MediKids legislation would benefit children without health insurance and the entire community.

Saint James Health has a unique set up as a federally-qualified health center. Located in a Newark high school, this innovative approach helps ensure that everyone in the community has meaningful access to healthcare.

I met with Mayor Solomon in Jersey City to discuss our shared priorities, including building more affordable housing and keeping New Jerseyans safe from ICE aggression. This local-federal partnership is key to serving residents in Jersey City and across the Garden State.

The parents I know already have a lot to juggle. Now, they're adding more expensive back-to-school supplies to the list. We should be able to set kids up to succeed whether it's with a notebook or annual checkup. It doesn't have to be this hard.

The Watershed Institute is a nature reserve and LEED-Platinum center in Hopewell Township, NJ, focused on addressing flooding and water quality. On my tour of the institute, I learned about how researchers monitor the surrounding ecosystem and educate communities on environmental protection. 1/2

Listen to their stories. While Trump dismisses these concerns, we can't continue a war with no end while our servicemembers and their families pay the price. 2/2

Servicemembers aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were set to come home in May. They've been at sea for 272 days with no port visits, and the reported conditions on board are nothing short of harrowing. They now face a weeks-long journey home. 1/2

7. Supports Marginalized Communities & Veterans: Increases funding for emergency shelter beds, makes it easier for veterans to receive disability income to qualify for rental assistance, and combat bias in appraisals, so all homeowners receive a fair valuation. 8/9

5. Streamlines Reviews: This law streamlines environmental review regulations so homes can be built faster and at a lower cost, and empowers state, local, and tribal governments to streamline reviews. 6/9
