When MAGA conspiracy theorists targeted my nonprofit & called me out on the Senate floor, I had to sit my 10-year-old down & explain what to do if the FBI showed up at our door.
I realized then that in these defining moments, silence isn’t neutrality. It’s permission.
You can convince yourself that this is how things work now. That someone else will fix it, that staying quiet is easier. Or you can accept that when something is broken and you have the ability to help fix it, stepping up isn’t heroic. It’s necessary.
These are the issues I’ve dedicated my career to—and why I’m running for Congress: because this stuff is personal, and it’s worth fighting for.
For most of my adult life, I believed in our government. Not blindly, but earnestly. I understood politics could be rough, but I believed that if you followed the law and focused on serving people, the guardrails would hold.
That belief didn’t survive 2025.
One day, my kids will ask me what I did in this moment, and I need to be able to show them that I stood up to bullies.
I’m running for Congress to fight back and to fix the broken status quo that made Trump’s politics of pain possible.
Thank you so much. This is only the beginning.
Big thank you to David Bien-Aime and The Village Green NJ for this thoughtful feature on my campaign & how my life has shaped my progressive agenda for NJ-11!
