Representing #NJ10, fighting for working families in Essex, Hudson and Union counties. Husband, Father of three, former union member and Newark Councilman.
We cannot keep playing games with people's health! Yesterday's appalling Supreme Court decision is a travesty. Congress must fight to codify abortion and other rights into federal legislation.
I am delighted to announce that the House passed the Payment Choice Act. I wrote this bill to make it illegal for retail businesses to reject cash payments. This is a huge win for folks who don't have access to the banking system!
Congratulations to our new South Ward Councilman Patrick Council and West Ward Councilman @doitallfornwk on their victories tonight! Both will do excellent work alongside @rasjbaraka to keep Newark on the right path. https://t.co/i9t7Lze4tK
We have an obligation to make sure everyone in this country has access to life-saving medicines. I know firsthand what people are going through, and I will always fight for them! https://t.co/IMVmpQPIRn
The movement for LGBTQ+ equality has made major progress. But this Pride month we must brace ourselves for the fight ahead.
If the conservative Supreme Court is willing to ignore precedent by overturning Roe, what other hard-won rights are they willing to take away?
This is a victory for the hardworking men and women of #NJ10 who showed that they demand experienced, effective leadership that puts their needs first and always shows up for them, and that’s exactly what I have always strived to deliver as their Congressman. #RunDMP
Our members understand the importance of electing progressive candidates. They do not take anything for granted and also know the importance of to reaching voters through door-knocking, phone banking, and texting.
I would like to congratulate @Akil4Congress for running a positive, issue-oriented campaign in #NJ10. Voters benefit when they have the opportunity to make choices, and I’m sure Akil will continue to serve our community well as an author and professor.
Congratulations to @DonaldPayneJr on a dominant victory last night. You can’t reach an astronomical number like 83% in a heavily contested election without having an outstanding record and running a great campaign, and I was honored to be part of it!
Congratulations to my good friend Congressman @DonaldPayneJr on a decisive victory in yesterday’s Democratic primary.
The people have spoken loudly and clearly about your leadership.
And D. Payne will be back in the building!
Congrats @DonaldPayneJr!
Rep. Payne has a record of standing up for healthy communities and will continue working to advance clean energy, jobs, and justice in Congress.
#LCVAF is proud to support him for reelection in #NJ10.
More than anything I want to thank the everyday folks who continue to put their trust and faith in me to represent them. Democracy is about choices and 10th District Democrats made their voices heard loud and clear today, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart
I would like to thank our incredible supporters for working so hard to make this victory possible, from the many labor unions and progressive organizations that endorsed, to the elected officials and community leaders that engaged with their residents.
It’s primary day in New Jersey.
Proud to strongly support Congressman @DonaldPayneJr and @RobMenendez4NJ.
Let’s get it done today so they can keep fighting #ForThePeople!
