Michael Roth

My team and I like to keep busy. The only thing we like more is meeting all of you! I’m out and about around the district all of March, and each week I will let you know where I am headed.
I’ll see you out there 😉🛣️

My statement on what happened last night as our nation slept. Congress has the power to declare war, not the President, and he is accountable to us all.

Stealing Michael’s phone for a quick thank you: this campaign is powered by you, and we couldn’t do it without you, not for a second.

Thank you to the New Jersey Monitor for their coverage on this. New Jersey has made itself clear: we will not accept this.

Tom Kean Jr.’s complicity is an abdication of serving the people he’s sworn to represent. #ICEOUT #TKJOUT

Government isn’t the problem. Politicians we can’t trust are. I’m running to give my constituents someone to believe in.

Join me in building a government that works for you.

Your representative should know how Congress works. That’s what you elect them for. @sench_ola_ has the right idea.

This week, the calendar reads like a chorus line of traditions. Tuesday rang in the Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras, and today opens both Ash Wednesday and Ramadan.

Different paths. Shared dignity. One community.

We need to get the billions of corporate dollars out of our elections. Billionaires do not own our democracy; you do.

This country was not built to be an oligarchy. I'm running to put people first and bring the people’s voice back into politics.

For months, NJ has been at the mercy of the Trump Administration for the Gateway Tunnel funding, and now he wants us to inflate his ego for money we should’ve already received.

Where has our congressman been through this ordeal? Right by Trump’s side.

Enough is enough.

They call it chaos. I call it a pattern: when families need relief, they get higher costs, especially in housing.

NJ families are being priced out while leaders stay quiet.

Real solutions > empty suits.

A map highlighting New Jersey with text overlay: "Steve Kornacki: Democratic primary season kicks off with an anti-establishment earthquake." The NBC News logo is present. In the top right corner, a logo reads "Michael Roth for Congress."

NJ-11 is saying the quiet part out loud: people want something different. We hear it at every stop.

Michael’s running to be a public servant, accountable to voters, not party bosses or corporate interests.

New kind of leadership. Full stop.

“Dark money in our politics is poison.” No hedging. Just the truth. 💥

Take a minute and listen to my full answer on corporate PAC money in campaigns. Transparency is the price of democracy.

Nearly 2000 NJ layoffs already this year.
Amazon closures. Insurance job cuts. Rising unemployment.

Behind every layoff is a family reworking their budget and their future. We need an economy built around workers, not just balance sheets. I’m running to make that reality.

🌱Our campaign is earning the support of respected climate and environmental leaders who know this moment demands action, not delay.

More endorsements are on the way. The movement is building, and it’s built to win. More ⬇️

The death of Alex Pretti was state-sanctioned murder. No more.

ICE is now one of the 20 highest funded armies in the world with complete immunity. What we see from ICE is authoritarianism in plain sight. What we need to do is fund healthcare and education, not a domestic army.

Donald Trump is using ICE to send a message: if you do not obey, they’re coming for you.

We will not bend, we will not bow, and we will not give up on each other.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Economic Leaders for Michael – a coalition of national and statewide economic leaders across sectors who believe that Michael has the values, experience, and economic expertise needed to deliver for working families in New Jersey.

Michael Roth for Congress acknowledging Veterans Day, thanking veterans for their bravery and service.

To all veterans — thank you. We owe our lives and freedoms to your service.

Michael Roth for Congress extends his congratulations and deepest gratitude to Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman on the announcement of her retirement.

Congratulations to @repbonnie.bsky.social on her remarkable legacy of service. Her dedication to her community is an inspiration to all.

Statement from Michael Roth for Congress condemning shutdown deal for endangering the lives of millions of New Jerseyans.

This isn't a deal - it's a total surrender. My statement on the shutdown deal.

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.

it’s a love story

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

🗳 Somerset County Dems, engaging our neighbors to elect Democrats up and down the ballot — 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.

💻 The amazing high schoolers from APeers, who help small businesses and nonprofits boost their digital presence — 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 — 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 — and seeing 500+ people turn out strengthened my belief that we will flip NJ-07 next year if we continue to show up.
