If there’s one thing about New Jersey, it’s that we elect fighters.

Excited to welcome a fighter to our ranks! Can’t wait to partner with Analilia Mejia make life better in NJ.💜

On the House floor, I was proud to congratulate Mayor Patricia Guerra-Frazier, for being appointed Mayor of Union Township in NJ-10. She is the first Latina to hold this role. I’m wishing her all the best as she continues to serve Union.

CBP Modernizes Electronic Refund Enrollment Process Securing America's Borders

NJ-10 businesses have been hit hard by Trump’s tariffs.

Has your business paid IEEPA tariffs? Here’s where to go if you have been impacted by this reckless policy:

This week in the 10th (and in Washington!) Team LaMonica was…

📢 Speaking up for Temporary Protected Status for our immigrant neighbors with TPS Alliance.
🤰🏽Advocating for Black maternal health with Brick Networks and First Lady Linda J. Baraka.
🏫 Discussing public school funding with KIPP.

I will keep conducting oversight of ICE because that is my job. If this administration learns that it can silence any of us, it will try to silence all of us.

I’m standing up for all of our neighbors by exposing the cruel treatment this administration wants to hide in the dark

Trump and Republicans’ reckless military spending is forcing American taxpayers to bear the burden. 

Let’s think about what we could have instead of this unconstitutional war of choice…

Trump has shown us that he will stop at nothing to silence anyone against him. If he’s unchecked, he will use FISA against Americans. 

That’s why Republicans tried to push a multi-year extension in the middle of the night—and it failed. We must reform FISA immediately.

In the United States, Black Women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. 

During Black Maternal Health Week, I joined @robinkelly.house.gov to support the WELLS Act and demand action to combat inequity in healthcare.

Donald Trump is the problem. He will be the problem as long as he’s the president. It’s mind-boggling that Pam Bondi, who worshiped at Trump’s feet, couldn’t make him happy. If she couldn’t do it, it’s hard to imagine how far any of these people will go to please Trump.

A year after Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill, Americans aren’t feeling relief, they’re falling behind. 

Today in House Committee on Small Businesses, I talked with a Senior Fellow from @americanprogress.bsky about how the Big Ugly Bill is forcing small businesses to shut their doors.

On the House floor, I gave a tribute to the life of Alberto Coutinho—a Newark native who led with heart, from the NJ Assembly to the soccer field. He gave so much to our community, and we’re committing to carrying his legacy forward. Let’s keep his family in our prayers.

Politics impacts your life, whether you engage or you don’t. If you think that you don’t do politics—politics will end up doing you every day.

This week in the 10th, Team LaMonica was…

📢Advancing equity for our Latino community with Latino Action Network.
📚Providing constituent services in Hillside and Union.

We won’t wait for a fairer, more inclusive society—we’re committed to making it a reality today.

I was honored to join the Latino Action Network at their annual legislative assembly under the theme We Belong: Nuestro Poder en Acción!

Pregnancy should never cause a mother to fear for her life—but this is a reality for Black women.

This Black Maternal Health Week, I’m proud to have co-sponsored the Social Determinants for Moms Act and Mamas & Babies Act, because addressing root causes is how we save lives.

My heart is broken after hearing the news of a shooting inside of a Chick Fil-A in Union Township. I have been in contact with the Mayor and, as we wait for more information, I’m praying for the families affected by this tragedy.

💵Grant Alert! 💵

In NJ-10, we’re expanding innovative treatments to support families impacted by cancer.

I’m happy to announce a $975,000 grant for Rutgers University toward cancer treatment research.

In honor of my predecessor, Donald Payne Jr., I was honored to advocate for prevention, education, and early detection as Colon Cancer Awareness Month wrapped up.

Rep. Payne championed screening and prevention for all, and I am committed to carrying that legacy forward.

Happy Birthday to my colleague and friend, Mayor Ras J. Baraka!

We know and love him as mayor, but I am also lucky to know him as my former teacher who inspired my journey in public service. Happy Birthday, Mr. Mayor.

Times of cruelty and chaos require moral urgency.

I joined Rev. Al Sharpton at the 2025 National Action Network convention to discuss how we can continue the path toward progress and justice in trying times.

The president just said he'd wipe out an entire civilization. Trump is not well, and that’s why I called for removing him from office with the 25th amendment. 

At the National Action Network convention, I spoke with Rev. Al Sharpton on how Trump is making us less safe.

Team LaMonica loved helping you in Hillside with your casework needs!

And we’re excited to see you today in Union for Mobile Office Hours! Join us from 11:00am to 2:00pm!

Trump is planning to take the lives of millions of innocent civilians in his reckless war of choice. 

Republicans need to put the humanity of others over their allegiance to this maniac and join Democrats to put a stop to this evil.

This case isn’t just about me. It’s Trump’s test of whether he can use prosecution as a way to threaten members of Congress, regardless of party.

That’s why I can’t back down—because if this administration silences me first, they’re coming after my colleagues and community next.

House Democrat Wages a Lonely Legal Fight Testing Congress’s Power

Fighting this case has been difficult, no doubt about it, but I will not back down and I won’t let it keep me from doing the job I was elected to do: protecting people.

Happy Easter from NJ-10!

I went to Delaney Hall to do my job. But this administration wants to make an example out of anyone who interrupts their lawless agenda. I refuse to stay silent.

Pam Bondi knew what she signed up for.

Wishing a joyful and meaningful Passover to families across NJ-10. May your homes be filled with peace and freedom. Chag Sameach!

Trump's playbook is simple: if you can’t win fair, cheat. That’s what this executive order is: the latest in a long list of ways he’s trying to avoid being held accountable by the people. 

He’ll do absolutely anything to keep power—from threatening critics to voter suppression.
