In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“To me, it is simple. If taxpayer money is being stolen, investigators should be able to get the records they need to find out where it went.”
“This is exactly the kind of work I came to Congress to do. South Jersey is surrounded by water, and our towns deal with flooding, erosion, aging dams, and waterways that need our full attention. I fought to get these priorities into the bill because they will directly address these concerns and make a real difference in the safety of the residents of South Jersey. Now they are on their way to becoming law. I am proud of what we were able to get done here, and I am going to stay on top of these projects to make sure the work gets done.”
“Every year, I work to bring as much as possible back to South Jersey, and this year is no different. For the sixth year in a row, our district is number one in congressionally directed spending projects. We are moving more than $43 million forward this year because the people of South Jersey deserve results.”
