Congressman Herb Conaway

This Thursday, I will be hosting a tele-town hall to answer questions regarding the current government shutdown and the upcoming rise in healthcare costs that Republicans refuse to address.

I'm ready to take your questions and hear how you've been impacted by the shutdown. RSVP using the QR code:

‼️ Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees that we can’t allow Republicans to raise health care costs for millions of Americans.

If we don’t act, insurance premiums will go up at least $4k for families and $1.2K for individuals in NJ on the ACA. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

It’s been almost a month since House Republicans have held a vote in Congress. They’ve shut down the government with no plan to negotiate or protect health care costs.

Democrats are back in D.C. and fighting so families can afford their health care.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize and celebrate the original caretakers of this land. Their enduring cultures, stories, and strength continue to enrich and shape the nation.

I am about to speak during the Steering and Policy Committee hearing about the shutdown and the Republican healthcare crisis. Tune in live here: www.youtube.com/live/70dGirP...

If you didn't do your job for 19 days, you would be fired.

And yet House Republicans sent their members home. They've been on vacation instead of finding a solution to end this shutdown and lower healthcare costs.

I am back in DC with my colleagues and ready to work for you.

If Republicans allow Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire at the end of this year, this is what healthcare costs will look like for families across our community.

While they keep our government shut down, we're fighting to protect and lower your costs.

I am wishing the Jewish community an easy fast this Yom Kippur, filled with renewal and reflection. Have a safe and meaningful holiday.

We don’t mince words in Jersey.

[UPDATE] The lockdown has been lifted. There is no reported threat to the public.

Lockdown at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst: Outdoors personnel should take cover The nature of the threat has not yet been disclosed.

My office is aware of the reported lockdown at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and will be monitoring the situation closely. I will report back with any updates.

L'Shana Tova! Wishing all those who celebrate a happy and sweet new year.

Costs are high enough. Now, health care costs are going to nearly double when tax credits under the ACA expire.

I voted NO on Republicans' funding bill today: they refused to act to save people's health care. I won’t sit by as they give tax cuts to the rich & make costs greater for everyone else.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments After F.C.C. Pressure

Like Kirk, Kimmel had the right to share his opinions-even if you find them offensive.

The problem with taking Kimmel off air has nothing to do with what he said. Trump put political pressure on ABC to cancel his show.

It's not cancel culture. It's a muzzle on speech that this admin doesn't like.

Republicans are about to let tax credits for the Affordable Care Act expire, which will cause health care costs to nearly double for thousands of Americans.

What you need to know, and how I’m fighting to keep costs down:

Join me this Thursday for my tele-town hall!

It is undoubtedly a troubling time in Congress, and I look forward to answering your questions. You can join using the QR code or the link in my bio.

As a reminder, I host town halls in-person every other month, so stay tuned for next month’s location!

For anyone who remembers where they were on 9/11, it doesn’t feel believable that it’s been 24 years.

We can never forget the lives we lost on that day, and must ensure the heroes of 9/11 are given the resources they deserve.

I unequivocally condemn the attack of Charlie Kirk. The truest sign of our right as Americans to freedom of expression is tolerating opinions you don't agree with. Using political violence to settle our differences is never the answer & will only divide us. Praying for his family & UVU students.

N.J. just made it easier to get a COVID vaccine than most states, going against new federal rules The state Health Department granted pharmacists the authority to adminster the vaccines without a prescription.

The evidence is clear: NJ will trust science and medicine above all to keep our communities safe. Proud of our state for putting health first! 💪

A wartime mass grave in Sri Lanka yields a baby bottle, children’s clothes and 141 skeletons The skeletons' identities have yet to be discovered, but many think the victims could be civilians who disappeared during Sri Lanka’s civil war in 1983.

The discovery of the Chemmani Mass Grave serves as painful reminder of the many who disappeared in Sri Lanka’s Civil War. We must seek justice, truth, and accountability for families of the disappeared.

I am horrified to learn about the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

Children deserve to go school safely without fear. They deserve to pray without fear. We need swift gov't action to address this gun violence epidemic.

My heart goes out to the innocent children and families

Yesterday marked 90 years of Social Security delivering a crucial safety net to hard-working Americans.

Trump officials and House Republicans say they want to privatize Social Security. I’m working alongside my Democratic colleagues to not only protect, but enhance your benefits. It’s time to act.

An ICE Facility at Ft. Dix would undoubtedly affect our service members’ morale and their ability to serve.

It feels painfully hypocritical to have U.S. troops training to fight for our freedoms on the very same base that will likely ignore thousands of immigrants’ basic human rights.

This morning, @norcross.house.gov & I visited Ft. Dix to demand answers about the proposed detention center. As of now, no undocumented immigrants are being held on the base. But that hasn’t stopped this administration from keeping Congress and military officials in the dark about their intentions.

This doctor CAN confirm this shocking truth!

@jonathanstea.bsky.social

New Jersey’s Congressional Democrats stand united in opposition of the Trump Administration’s decision to create a detention facility for undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

💸🚨 In just over 6 months, our team delivered $2.5 million rightfully owed to residents in our district.

While I’m fighting against the harmful policies of this administration, my team is working to provide assistance with federal agencies, social security, passports & more.

I will not stop reminding people of the devastating consequences of this law for people across New Jersey.

My deepest sympathies are with those affected by the flooding in Kerrville. I'm particularly devastated to hear about the young girls at Camp Mystic.

Thank you to the first responders for their heroic efforts. I also must thank NJ's own Scott Ruskan, who saved nearly 200 lives during the flooding.

As we continue to debate this bill, here’s a quick quiz to help out any Republican colleagues who may be unsure how to vote.

Spoiler alert: I’ll be voting no.
