I toured the emergency department at Atlantic Health Hackettstown Medical Center and spoke with nurses about healthcare barriers in rural communities and the impact of Medicaid cuts. They told me guaranteed healthcare for all kids under MediKids would ease the burden their patients face.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the fair! They helped me pass the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act, which was a big deal and kept independent music venues and theaters open during the pandemic.

I spent time last week with community leaders who are seriously concerned about a proposed uranium mine in Northern New Mexico. And with its proximity to the Chama River, that makes sense. Water is vital, and I'll keep fighting to safeguard the Chama and its water for future generations.

You can’t start a new business or save for retirement if your rent is eating up your paycheck. Out-of-state corporate landlords are using algorithms to fix prices, inflating rents across the country. As Senator, I introduced the bill to take on this price fixing, and as Governor, I’ll get it done.

Data centers could be driving up your utility costs. Has Trump done anything about it? Nope. He's too busy defending them as “Money Machines.”

Higher diesel prices mean higher transportation costs, higher delivery costs, and higher grocery bills. You're paying more at the gas station and the grocery store because of Trump.

Admiral Stavridis is too nice to say it, but the problem is a Costume Cabinet of in-over-their-heads incompetents, if not outright crooks.

President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a property tax increase in disguise. It will cost Minnesota $37 million a year starting next month — and that could rise to $142 million starting next October.

LV is the sports capital of the world, and we need to ensure we’re meeting the evolving needs of the sports organizations that bring in visitors and contribute to our economy. When I met with sports industry leaders, I heard about the need for a reliable visa process to make travel more accessible.

This was the problem with “goals” and “ambition” rather than actually doing stuff that works. Now, we’re down to a simple equation: put a price on carbon pollution or fail at climate safety.

PFAS can cause cancer, birth defects, and damage to our immune systems. Every clean up delay is another day our communities could be exposed to these toxins. No more delays. The Trump administration has a responsibility to get these forever chemicals out of our drinking water immediately.

Trump forced America into a war the people do NOT support. And now, under his leadership, our troops are paying the price. Trump’s illegal war is a catastrophe. Republicans MUST join with Democrats and VOTE to stop it.

Every state official who manipulated their maps to silence Black voters needs to be dragged before congress, and we've got to investigate if any illegal racial discrimination took place.

Ukraine has MacGyvered the Flamingo in a defense tech surge the U.S. DIB should emulate. The cutting edge of defense tech is in Ukraine. U.S. tech whizzes are investing big $$ there, learning how to innovate around our stultified DIB. But Trump/Russia is a problem.

When I heard veterans who were exposed to radiation and toxins while serving at NTTR were being denied the VA benefits they earned because the Department of Defense doesn’t classify the range as a location where contamination occurred as the Department of Energy does, I had to do something about it.

Good. We cannot let Trump destroy our election process or cheat in this upcoming election.

After DOGE layoffs & record cuts, Trump’s freezing the pay of all our civil servants in 2027. With 3.4% inflation, this amounts to a pay cut for those who care for our veterans, process benefits, & deliver essential services. Congress must pass the FAIR Act & override this decision.

My opponent is attacking me for something that didn’t happen because she doesn’t have a credible argument against me. And all of these attack and dark money ads? They are mostly paid for by one guy– a Wisconsin billionaire who’s one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors.

“Small potatoes.” That’s how Donald Trump feels about the war he started in Iran. Tell that to the families of the 18 troops we’ve lost, the hundreds of wounded servicemembers, and the Americans suffering every single day from record high prices. There's nothing small about it.

Right. Not Trump’s stupid Iran War, stuck in Horm-ooze. Not Trump’s corrupt war on clean energy, jacking electric costs. It’s Ukraine. Who profits from that nonsense? Putin and fossil fuel.

Arizona families are still paying too much for groceries, gas, and housing. Making life more affordable should be priority #1 in Washington, but for most, it’s just a talking point. I’m fighting to put money back in working families’ pockets — not millionaires.
