I believe that the United States has a moral and economic imperative to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The people of South Jersey are counting on me.

I do hope President Trump's calls for bipartisanship are genuine, and I also hope he takes the actions needed to unify the country.

I will continue to do all I can to work together with my fellow Representatives for the betterment of the American people and the people of South Jersey.

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, facts matter.

Regardless of what side of the issue you are on, the release of the Mueller Report is essential to restoring faith in our government.

The American Legion is a cornerstone of the community of South Jersey, and the United States, and its programs and activities strengthen our nation.

We feel on social media that we can speak to each other in a certain way. In politics we treat each other as enemies instead of collaborators. This hate has extended to these horrible and hateful acts.

There is too much hate in the world; too much hurt.

We need to restore our democracy to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Robocall scams not only inconvenience us at the dinner table, but they prey on the vulnerable, including seniors, and it's despicable.

We need to protect our environment and make our economy more sustainable so that we can pass on a better world to our grandchildren.

We have an opportunity to become a global leader in the clean energy industry, but we have to be smart and strategic about it.

Anti-Semitism or discrimination of any kind has no place in our society.

I believe that climate change is real, is driven mainly by human activity and that it is driving real-world changes such as extreme weather events, hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and ocean acidification.

The Agriculture Committee was one of my top committee choices because it will give me the platform to be an even stronger leader for our hard-working farmers in South Jersey.

It is unacceptable for the men and women who protect us to be treated like second class citizens over partisan bickering.

We are living in a world that has been changed by COVID, and our legislative priorities need to support our communities and our workers to address the needs of our new environment.

Our local hospitals are the frontline of the fight against Coronavirus and I am proud to have worked with Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan and the administration to ensure our South Jersey hospitals have more of the resources they need.

I believe if given the choice, Americans will choose to support American farmers when they head to the store to shop.

As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security, it is my responsibility to help our country adapt to and overcome the threats that COVID-19 presents to air travel.

America needs leader that work for them, not partisan gain.

The United States Postal Service is overworked and under-funded.

I will continue to fight for our people and businesses that make our community and our nation thrive, they deserve that.

Our government should never stop anyone from practicing their faith or exercising their rights to operate a business if it can be done in a safe manner.

We must work together as Americans in a bipartisan fashion.

Secure, safe borders with physical barriers, proper technology, manpower, and a sufficient number of judges is attainable and important to the security of our nation. We must also treat these children at the border with compassion and decency.

Our Country is a beacon of hope for the world.

We need to do everything in our power to assure the American people that the election system is secured and that outside forces will not interfere.

Since the founding of our nation, our democracy has been the beacon of hope and the standard by which other countries look to.

Election security is the first step to having free, fair, and open elections.

With the Ending One-Ring Scams Act of 2019, I continue my fight against those that prey on the weak.

For illegal robocallers, the goal isn't always getting you to answer. Sometimes, it's getting you to call back.

It is important that we are looking at renewable resources and growing businesses based on them.

Bringing solar as a renewable energy resource for those who are not able to install solar panels on their roofs allows more communities to benefit from a solar array.

We were elected to work together and help keep this country the greatest nation in the world.

Elected officials need to stop with the name calling and hateful statements.

Our heroes in the armed forces and our first responders are all essential to the freedom and safety of our great nation.

We have relied on China for far too long to provide cheap labor and goods at the expense of America and our workers.

In addition to dealing with call spoofing and robocalls with acts like the Robocall Enforcement Enhancement Act, the American people require a larger scale approach.

It sickens me to hear of people being unable to get coverage if they have a pre-existing condition, or of seniors that are struggling to afford prescriptions.

Our focus should be on finding a bipartisan solution to healthcare that makes it more affordable and accessible to all Americans.

It is time to get rid of the harmful and dangerous practice of offshore drilling once and for all.

I have had the opportunity to speak to the people of South Jersey. I have held Tele-Town Halls, gone to countless events, and met with thousands of the individuals who make up our community.

We must focus on strengthening the Affordable Care Act in ways that protect families and small businesses, and not on stripping away coverage from the most vulnerable.

As a dentist and representative, I have seen firsthand the need to make our healthcare system both more accessible and affordable.

We should not put additional stressors on God's creatures through irresponsible trade practices in wild birds.

Stockton University is a cornerstone of South Jersey.

No one understands the impacts of shifting fish stocks more than commercial and recreational fishermen in my district.

The people of South Jersey know that climate change is real and that it impacts their quality of life. They see that our streets flood almost every time it rains and they have seen that extreme weather events have become more frequent and more violent.
