    Met w/ students from Freehold Township HS before their rally & discussed my strong & long-standing support for common sense gun legislation. What happened in Parkland must never happen again--there is no higher priority for us right now than school safety.

    The funding of the Gateway Tunnel in the omnibus is an important start. I will fight to ensure the fed gov keeps its promise. Time is of the essence here.

    Today's ruling against the monster power line proposed for Monmouth County was a victory for safety & economic concerns of local residents; I opposed this project for those very reasons. Rachael Kanapka & her group RAGE were rock stars in fighting this project.

    W/ so many rail passengers crossing daily b/w NJ & NYC & the tunnel in need of repair, the time to build the Gateway Tunnel was yesterday. The House approved $900 mil. It’s time for the Admin to do its part & cover half the costs.

    The internet should not enable human trafficking, & those complicit must be held accountable. I was proud to co-sponsor The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 to crack down on this abuse. The Senate should act quickly to pass this critical bill.

    Met w/ to discuss NJ offshore drilling. I & other NJ members were clear about it: not now, not ever. The Secretary heard our concerns, & the meeting was encouraging. If the proposal for New Jersey is not already off the table, it will soon be.

    Today I joined, via Facetime, NJ citizens rallying in Hamilton against the Administration’s offshore drilling proposal. I am unequivocally opposed and am working with local citizens and colleagues to make it clear: not here, not now, not ever.

    Viewed 25 student-created apps today at Point Pleasant Borough HS, including “Lunch Buddy,” the winner of the NJ-04 2017 Congressional App Challenge. I was impressed by the creativity and technological proficiency of the STEM program students—tomorrow’s leaders are hard at work.

    I was pleased that the President last night reported new jobs & rising wages & emphasized support for paid family leave, the need to rebuild our infrastructure, address the opioid epidemic, & establish accountability at the VA. Both parties in Congress must address these issues.

    I am unalterably opposed to the Secretary of the Interior’s proposal to open up coastal waters to oil and gas exploration and drilling. This poses serious risks to NJ’s beaches and commercial fishing industry.
