Honored to join @POTUS at the @AFLCIO Convention to show solidarity with working people nationwide. As a union electrician who fights for workers every day in Congress, it's refreshing to have a president who knows the value of a union. https://t.co/cYeuJGh8nA
Every South Jerseyan deserves clean drinking water. Today, I’m glad to announce a $1 million grant for the Borough of Brooklawn to remove forever chemicals from its drinking water. https://t.co/Nlneu3B826

We have a huge problem when Americans don’t feel safe at the grocery store or school because of guns. Today I stood with the majority of Americans who want common sense gun safety. It’s time for the Senate to pass the #ProtectingOurKidsAct. https://t.co/E12iJMTY6B
91% of Democrats and 74% of Republicans want Congress to act on gun safety, but legislation I helped pass in the House is collecting dust in the U.S. Senate as I type this. As our nation mourns, I want to be up front with you about where I stand on gun safety. Here’s where I am:
I cosponsored the Assault Weapons Ban to regulate assault weapons. I twice cosponsored the Bipartisan Background Checks Act to ensure people with criminal records, violent pasts, and mental instability could not buy deadly firearms.
I strongly opposed the Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity Act which would force states like NJ to honor concealed carry permits from states with lax gun laws. I twice cosponsored the Untraceable Firearms Act to ban the sale of guns that lack a serial number ("ghost guns").
I cosponsored the Gun Violence Restraining Order Act to ban firearm sales to a person subject to a court-issued gun violence prevention order. I cosponsored the Disarm Hate Act to prevent a person who was convicted of a hate crime from obtaining a firearm.
I cosponsored the Automatic Gunfire Prevention Act to make it a crime to have a trigger crank or a bump-fire device I cosponsored the Ammunition Background Check Act to establish new requirements and restrictions with respect to the sale and transfer of ammunition.
I cosponsored the Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act to authorize the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance to make grants to states, local governments, or gun dealers to conduct gun buyback programs.
I cosponsored the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act to address red flag laws, generally to allow law enforcement officers or family members to petition a court for a temporary order that prohibits an at-risk individual from possessing firearms.
I cosponsored Jaime’s Law to establish background check requirements for the sale and transfer of ammunition. I twice cosponsored the Keep Americans Safe Act to establish a new criminal offense for the import, sale, or possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
I cosponsored the Enhanced Background Checks Act to revise background check requirements applicable to proposed firearm transfers from a licensed gun dealer to an unlicensed person.
I cosponsored Ethan's Law to establish a framework to regulate the storage of firearms on residential premises. I twice cosponsored the Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act to address plastic guns that are undetectable to metal detectors or other detection devices.
And finally, I twice cosponsored the Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act to require states to implement plans to improve the submission of mental health and criminal history records to the national instant criminal background check system.
We can keep guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, and domestic terrorists. Some of my colleagues just need the bravery to act. I will do everything I can to make our country a safer place to raise a child.
You’ll note my frustration as you read this. I took an oath of office to, in part, ensure the safety and security of the American people. We must take steps to do just that. We can advance commonsense measures that reduce gun violence while protecting Second Amendment rights.
In one month, we've had mass shootings in a grocery store, a church, an elementary school, and now a hospital. This shouldn't keep happening.
I’m no TV executive, but it’s a bad sign when autocrats think you’re a “friend” that should be aired “24/7.” We must stand shoulder to shoulder against this kind of hate, no matter your party. https://t.co/2LQIVc1YLj
In the face of global inflation, Republicans want to raise taxes on working people, slash Medicare and Social Security, and give billionaires a payout. I'm fighting for working people in Congress, including lowering costs for the middle-class, not billionaires. QT @POTUS: My plan will lower your costs. Congressional Republicans’ plan will lower your income. It’s that simple. https://t.co/tPWiglnQmf)
