After two years of devastating violence, this is the biggest step towards peace and reconciliation we’ve seen. End the bloodshed and bring them home.

NJ is at its best when we show up for each other β€” and that’s exactly what I saw here.

πŸ—³ Somerset County Dems, engaging our neighbors to elect Democrats up and down the ballot β€” from @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to LD23 Dems Guy Citron & Ty Powell, to county leaders Liz Graner, Melonie Marano, Tina Jalloh, Darrin Russo, to every council race like Hodges & Tompkins, and so many more.

πŸ’» The amazing high schoolers from APeers, who help small businesses and nonprofits boost their digital presence β€” so good they signed up a new customer on the spot! (MSHVFAS where my dad has served for 30+ years)

Met some incredible ones, like:
🐾 Lorraine, owner of Love Your Pet LLC, who went from asking if there was a better way to care for pets to pioneering an industry, winning a Congressional Award, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The antidote to disillusionment is community. And Somerset County 4-H Fair has it in spades.

This fair shows what makes NJ so special β€” family, community, agriculture, food, small business, and caring for each other. But the best part of our state will always be the people.

Spare us the bullshit.

Your votes to slash Medicaid show us what you really think.

Yesterday, @andykimnj.bsky.social held a town hall in Westfield to do what Tom Kean Jr fails to do: show up for NJ-07.

Sen. Kim reminded us that the opposite of democracy is apathy β€” and seeing 500+ people turn out strengthened my belief that we will flip NJ-07 next year if we continue to show up.

I’m grateful to be in this fight with folks all across NJ-07 who are ready to decide β€” and to act.

PS thanks to Chapter III for the wardrobe change after jumping into the river. I was told I looked like I should be on a boat in France, which I’m going to choose to take as a compliment.

Thank you to Lambertville Indivisible group for a great event honoring John Lewis. Shoutout to organizer Cindi Sternfeld for her call to action:

β€œHope will only take us so far. It is better to decide. I don’t want you to sit home and hope β€” I want you to go out and decide what comes next.”

Big thanks to Mount Olive Dems + Chair Andy Meissner for hosting me! We talked about making NJ affordable, how we win in November, & how we finish the job in ’26. With Morris Dems & Chair Darcy Draeger, we’re just getting started. Special thx to Jason Blazakis for sharing his latest research w/ us.

Coast Guard swimmer from N.J. hailed as hero who rescued 165 people from raging Texas floodwaters Petty Officer 3rd Class Scott Ruskan was hailed a hero by Kristi Noem.

Scott Ruskan grew up in Oxford, right here in NJ-07.

On his first rescue mission, he helped save 165 lives from catastrophic floods in Texas.

This is the kind of selfless service that makes our communityβ€”and our countryβ€”so special. Thank you, Scott. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Remy just finished reading the Republican megabill.

He’s now questioning the state of American democracy and whether he should run for office.

This week has been marked by hatred & fear, but I’m ending it feeling hopeful & energized by folks coming together to fight for a future our kids deserve. It’s time to continue showing up for each other, our communities, and our values.

(And shoutout to my mom for showing up for her grandkids too)

Just saw @mikiesherrill.bsky.socialβ€”our next Governor. When she was elected in 2018, she stood up to Trump and fought for small businesses, families, and communities. Now she’s ready to keep fighting for a better New Jersey. Proud to support her.

Today is voting day-one of my favorite days. We don’t just choose nominees, we uphold the strength of democracy, show why we are the world’s greatest nation, and choose the values our kids will grow up in.

I was so excited this morning, I ran through the rain to cast my vote.

DNC Chair Ken Martin showed up in Somerset County this weekend w/ a simple message - the path to winning back the House runs right through this campaign.

Ken reminded us that our job doesn’t stop w/ electing Dems - we have to elect strong leaders who know how to deliver for their constituents.

I was grateful to spend Memorial Day w/ the Bernards Township Democratic Committee on Monday. We honored New Jersey families who’ve lost loved ones in service to our country. Their sacrifice calls us to keep striving for a more perfect union - one worthy of their courage, and their love of America.

Donate to Michael Roth for Congress Now more than ever, NJ-07 needs a Congressman with the ability to get things done and the guts to stand up for what’s right.

Tom Kean just voted to advance the largest cuts in Medicaid history, putting over 70,000 of his own constituents at risk.

He said he wouldn’t. He lied, and he sold us out to get Trump’s endorsement.

We deserve better. Help me hold him accountable.

Had a great night in Neshanic Station w/ the Somerset County Dems! It was great to hear from union leaders, engineers, environmental consultants, and firefighters who are moving Somerset forward.

Always grateful to be working w/ incredible leaders, especially chair Peg Schaffer.

70,000 of Tom Kean’s constituents in NJ-07 rely on Medicaid.

But instead of standing up for them, Kean just sold them out for Trump’s endorsement. Now, Overlook Medical Center in Summit is projected to lose $3M in federal funding.

We deserve better.

I’ve talked to small biz across NJ7 and have heard this same thing. Small businesses create 2 out of 3 net new jobs. They’re the backbone of our economy. When elected, I will fight to make it easier for them to start, grow and create jobs like I’ve done my entire career

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who’s been in my corner since day one - my sounding board, workout partner, and hug when I need it most.

From cheering on my campaign to cheering me up when things get hard, my mom shows up with love, strength, and endless support.

Love you, Mom. I’m the luckiest.

The event was right on the nose…which isn’t going to stop me from getting out and meeting people across the district.

I’ve worked with all levels of government - and local government that works is fundamental to everything.

Had a great night with the Westfield Dems last night attending the campaign kickoff for Reshma Adwar, who’s running for Town Council in Ward 1.
