Rep. LaMonica McIver

@marcelias.bsky.social asked me why I keep going, why I am not capitulating. My answer is simple: the people I represent. Love for my neighbors. The future I want for my nine-year-old daughter.  I would not be comfortable staying out of this fight.

I joined @democracydocket.com this week to discuss how this moment of crisis requires political courage. I was elected to serve the people of New Jersey’s 10th to give them a seat at the table—no matter who the president is.

If House Republicans think they can make me run scared, they’re wrong.

A year later, Trump’s Big Ugly Bill has made it harder for Americans to put food on the table. In New Jersey alone, 21,815 children lost access to SNAP benefits. That’s why I introduced the Summer Meals REACH Act to help kids get free summer meals. No child should go hungry.

A third person has died after being detained at Delaney Hall—the pattern of abuse is plain as day. Shut down Delaney. Abolish ICE. We need justice now.

Calling all NJ-10 students and families! Team LaMonica is hosting Service Academy Day on Saturday, October 4th. Bring your families and come hear from speakers from all five service academies!

This fight is bigger than me. It is for my children. It is for every kid who looks like me. We have to fight to create a better world, and I am not backing down.

Let me remind you: when you obstruct members of congress from conducting lawful oversight, you are breaking the law! Make no mistake, under Dem majority, folks will have to answer for their actions.

Maternal health is deeply personal to me. Every mom deserves the support she needs. Grateful to join the Partnership of Maternal and Child Health of Northern NJ last week to discuss how we can better support mothers through their unique and challenging breastfeeding journeys.

Senate Republicans failed the American people when, in the cover of darkness at 4:30 this morning, they confirmed Todd Blanche as AG. Ignoring his unwavering loyalty to Trump, corruption, and weaponization of the DOJ, they have put our democracy in even greater danger.

Anthony Russo has dedicated more than 50 years to serving New Jersey and remains a devoted public servant. Happy 100th birthday to a man who loves Union and our great state as much as anyone. Your lifetime of service and leadership has inspired generations.
