On September 23, LaMonica McIver was sworn into Congress to serve out the remaining term of the late Representative Donald J. Payne, Jr. after winning the special election on September 18 and special primary on July 16. She is the first Black woman to represent the CD-10 and the youngest ever to be elected to the United States House of Representative from New Jersey. And this is not the beginning of her record-breaking in elected office. In 2018, LaMonica was elected as the youngest woman ever to the Newark Council where she proudly served as Council President for the past 7 years. She has been a stalwart champion for the needs and aspirations of every resident of Newark’s Central Ward and now she’s doing the same for all who live and work in CD10.

She also sees the devastating impact of climate change playing out throughout the district in the form of catastrophic flooding that is threatening lives, homes, and livelihoods. Too often, these challenges are treated as separate issues, but they are deeply interconnected and require comprehensive solutions that LaMonica is committed to work on in Washington.

Common Sense Gun Reform: Implement universal background checks, close loopholes, ban
Nearly two years following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. and the constitutional right to choose, millions of Americans are living under extreme state abortion bans. These dangerous laws are putting women’s health and lives at risk and preventing doctors from giving patients the care they’ve been trained to provide. Congressional Republicans have indicated their intent to swiftly enact a nationwide abortion ban should they regain control in Washington, overriding our protections in New Jersey and putting the lives of countless women across the country at risk. This cannot happen. We need to pass a clear, comprehensive law protecting reproductive rights for everyone in the United States, regardless of what state they live in.

The exact official service window begins 2024-09-23, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2025-01-03. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
