America’s veterans have sacrificed so much for our country; it’s critical we work every day to recognize their service and give them every opportunity we can. During my time in Congress, I’ve met with countless veterans across Burlington and Ocean Counties, and I’m dedicated to supporting and honoring our veterans. I’m proud that my office has been able to help hundreds of veterans get the benefits they have earned and deserve.
Our Democracy can’t work unless it works for you. I’ve heard from people across Burlington and Ocean Counties about how there is too much money in politics and a lack of bipartisan cooperation in Congress. That is why one of my first actions as your Member of Congress was to help introduce H.R. 1, the For the People Act, which would help clean up money in politics, protect our elections from foreign interference, and strengthen our ethics laws.

We can help those who need it most by increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and increasing access to treatment and recovery services.
Our community is home to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, where tens of thousands of servicemembers and their families live and work. Our men and women in uniform and their families aren’t just on the front lines of defending our freedom—they’re our neighbors, and it’s up to us to serve for them like they serve us.
