Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Guaranteed Healthcare

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Support guaranteed healthcare for all Americans and use international health-system evidence to build a system with broader coverage and fewer medical bankruptcies.

  • Points to the United States as an outlier without guaranteed healthcare and cites international health-system comparisons as support for broader coverage.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

The U.S. is one of the only developed nations without guaranteed healthcare, but it doesn't have to be that way; using data from the Commonwealth Fund, we can learn from healthcare models around the world and build the best healthcare system on the planet.

Our Environment

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Issue Assessment

Describes coastal flooding, extreme weather, and wildfires as increasingly frequent, intense, and costly, and argues polluters should bear more responsibility.

Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Constant coastal flooding, extreme weather, and wildfires are increasing in frequency, intensity, and cost. Let's make polluters pay.

Coastal Resilience & Cleanup

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Invest in coastal resilience, reduce rising insurance burdens in shore communities, and restore federal flood-protection capacity.

  • Invest in shore-town resilience and restore federal flood-protection capacity, including the National Flood Insurance Program.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

As your Congresswoman, I'll work to tackle these rising insurance costs, invest in coastal resilience for shore towns, and undo the gutting of vital efforts like the National Flood Insurance Program.

Forever Wars

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

End current open-ended overseas military involvement, investigate alleged abuses and troop conditions, and redirect more Pentagon spending toward domestic priorities.

  • Bring service members home; investigate war-crime allegations and troop conditions; direct more defense spending toward domestic priorities.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

It's time to bring the men and women of our armed forces home, launch a full investigation into war crimes allegations and the conditions of our troops on board the USS Lincoln, and commit to spending Pentagon dollars IN America, and on Americans.

National Moratorium / AI Data Centers

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Oppose new AI/data-center construction in New Jersey’s 4th District while stronger federal oversight and community protections are developed.

  • Argues AI development has outpaced regulation and raises surveillance and deepfake risks; opposes new data-center construction in NJ-4 because of water, energy, pollution, and job impacts.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

A.I. is a transformative technology, but its development has outpaced our ability to regulate it. Without proper Federal oversight, we can't control its impact, from a system of mass surveillance that threatens our Fourth Amendment rights, to deepfake technology, which is far too easily abused.

Social Security and Retirement

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Goal / Priority

Protect Social Security and improve access to earned retirement benefits as the trust fund approaches a financing shortfall.

  • Points to Social Security's poverty-reduction role, projected trust-fund shortfall, and reduced access associated with office closures and cuts.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Without Social Security, almost 40% of over-65s would fall below the poverty line, and Social Security's main trust fund is set to become insolvent in just six short years. New rounds of cuts and the shuttering of field offices have only further restricted access to earned benefits.

Paid Family Leave

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Guarantee 12 weeks of paid leave for parents after the birth or arrival of a child.

  • Both mothers and fathers would be eligible.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Every parent - both mothers and fathers - will be eligible for 12 weeks of paid leave after having a child. 96% of the world guarantees something like this - so should America.

Protecting Constituents from Data-Center Costs

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Prevent consumers and small businesses from being forced to subsidize data-center infrastructure and energy costs.

  • Links data centers to high resource use, environmental risks, and potentially higher household and small-business energy bills.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

As your Congresswoman, I'll work to protect consumers and small businesses from subsidizing rising costs.

Until appropriate guardrails exist, I will support the A.I. Data Center Moratorium Act and a nationwide freeze of A.I. data centers. Democracy needs a chance to catch up.

Campaign Finance Reform / Citizens United

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and reduce large-money influence in elections.

Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

While the Administration reaches new heights of corruption, our broken campaign finance system continues to put corporate interests over ordinary Americans. I will fight to hold this corruption accountable, demanding serious, comprehensive reform.

Housing

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Make homeownership more attainable, restrict large corporate ownership of family homes, protect renters’ organizing rights, and expand homeownership assistance.

  • Support limits on large corporate ownership of family homes, renters’ organizing rights, and expanded homeownership programs.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

We have to make home ownership a realistic goal for young people again, and I'll support bipartisan legislation to end corporate ownership of family homes. I'll also be the second New Jersey Congresswoman to support the Tenant's Right to Organize Act, protecting renters rights and prohibiting unfair rent rises. I support expanding home ownership programs which have not kept up with inflation or rising home prices.

Pre-K, Daycare, and Aftercare

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Guarantee pre-K for three- and four-year-olds and expand daycare/aftercare support for working families.

Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

We need to expand pre-k beginning at age three to everyone who wants it, not just the lucky few who can afford it. With childcare more costly than a mortgage, parents need the option to return to work and know their children are being enriched, socialized, and protected. Good for parents, good for children, and also good for our economy.

Lower Our Costs & Promote Opportunity

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Goal / Priority

Lower the cost of living and expand opportunity for working people through higher wages, housing and tuition reform, and limits on concentrated corporate power.

  • Raise wages; pursue housing and tuition reform; and limit concentrated corporate power.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

We can't just freeze the cost of living: we need to lower it. From livable wages that match inflation to large-scale housing and tuition reform, I will fight to make New Jersey - and our nation - affordable for working people.

Protect Our Environment & Create Jobs

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Goal / Priority

Pair stronger climate and pollution protections with clean infrastructure that creates jobs in shore communities.

  • Hold polluters accountable and invest in clean infrastructure that creates local jobs.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Shore communities bear the brunt of climate change: coastal flooding and extreme weather are becoming more frequent, more intense, and more costly. We must demand accountability from polluters and prioritize clean, job-creating infrastructure.
