Washington, DC - Congressman Van Drew released the following statement in response to the announcement that New Jersey utility companies are delaying the steep electricity increase that was set to take effect this month until the fall.

WASHINGTON D.C. – Senator Andy Kim released the following statement against the Trump administration banning citizens of 12 countries from visiting the United States, and placing restrictions on a total of 19: “Trump’s travel ban is rooted in bigotry, not security. It is a sad attempt by the Administration to distract Americans from the rising prices they’ve caused, an economy they’ve put at risk, and a bill they’re pushing in Congress to take health care and food assistance from people who need it most just to hand it to their billionaire donors. “This distraction won’t make America safer; it will only further isolate and divide us. The Trump Administration has abandoned the ideals that make America a place of hope and opportunity. They should stop the distractions and focus on improving the lives of everyday Americans.” Read more →
