Donate, volunteer, spread the word.

I've been personally prosecuted by Josh Gottheimer in a frivilous case that cost Bergen County tens of thousands of dollars, only to beat the case myself without attaining legal representation. Since then, I've been ignored by media, ignored by every local elected....
We are being scammed by this insider trading sociopath.
Please help me spread the word. Let's stop this genocidal Israeli apartheidist in his tracks before he takes this crime show to Trenton. Every dollar helps.
🚨 BREAKING: Representative Josh Gottheimer just disclosed a purchase of Northrop Grumman stock, $NOC.
Northrop just raised profit forecasts, amid increased global defense spending.
Gottheimer sits on the House Intelligence Committee.
We'll keep you updated.
So Israel could have a ceasefire deal with Hamas and avert an attack from Iran and all they have to do is accept the terms that Israel itself already laid out and approved — and everybody is pretty sure they won’t do that.
111% profit on a pharmaceutical stock since he purchased it....while he does all he can to keep you from attaining the same healthcare that the rest of the developed world has.
He is horrible.
🚨 UPDATE
Earlier this year, we posted a report on a suspicious purchase of Agios Pharmaceuticals stock by Representative Josh Gottheimer.
The stock has now risen 111% since his trade:
My opponent has a people problem. Not only as a supporter of genocide, but with his fellow citizens, employees and staff as well.
Lets send him back to being some corporation's HR department's problem this November.
Whether Democrats win or lose this fall, the long term damage they have done to themselves these last three election cycles is very measurable already, as they are still having real issues defeating Trump.
The only thing that made Trump a political power was The DNC itself.
Even with the bevy of very important reasons that people should not be voting for my opponent
@RepJoshG
in November, he may be giving us the most important reason as I write this.
Josh wants your kids to fight a war with Iran to protect Israel. Not his kids, your kids.
First yard sign delivered!
If you donated to the campaign, yours will be on the way.
If you didn't donate but want one anyway, just ask, and we will get you one.
@RepJoshG
Where do you hear this?? I've been campaigning all over the district, and not one person has brought this up. Not one.
They do bring up healthcare though....
It's because 90% of self-proclaimed progressives are really just blue maga liberals who root for Democrats the same way they do The Jets or Giants.
They get mad, they stomp and scream, they know they are being severely ripped-off, but they still root for the team anyway.
From my own town's Democratic Club, to Passaic and Bergen County Dems, to the state and national party, they have all made it very clear that genocide and universal healthcare for all are FAR less important than corporate donors.
We're going to win anyway, because we're right.
@RepLoisFrankel
Israel's defense has nothing to do with me. Paying for Israel's defense at the expense of my children having Universal Health Care is sick.
You are a sick woman Ms. Frankel.
The day of the trial, after FIVE separate hearings, I walked into the courtroom as was handed this letter. Josh had never attended any of the hearings either. This was simply an attempt to harass me. The prosecutor was his friend, and Democratic mayor of Oakland, NJ.
WHAT A WEEK! From North Jersey to DC, there is nothing but energy for a CEASEFIRE NOW, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, and a cleaner environment. JOIN US in rejecting the failing policies of the two-party system and help us make history:
What an honor and a privilege it was to meet
@medeabenjamin
of Code Pink yesterday! She is a living legend, a hero for all causes good and just, and a warrior for peace.
...Democrat, and ignored by anyone else in a position of authority that I have tried to tell my story to.
It has to make you ask how powerful is Josh? Why is someone so disliked by the public still so protected by those in power?
You could be next.
Later, I found out what his "conflict" was. From his own social media, he had to campaign at a candy store, which was in Ridgewood, NJ. Ridgewood is literally 15 minutes from The courthouse in Hackensack.
This applies to everyone of us in The Green 13. Every dollar assists us in getting our message out, from lawn signs to advertisements.
It sucks having to ask the public for $, but that's how this game is played. Help us put an end to money in politics once and for all.
Someone angrily asked me this weekend "If you're so progressive, why do you go after Kamala and Dems more than you do Trump?"
I replied that any rational person who listens to what I say should already know how I would feel about a born wealthy, racist, fascist, rapist lunatic.
There is so much more to this story. A crazy prosecutor who was also a Democratic Mayor and friend of Josh who left the case a week before the trial, a court clerk who literally apologized to me for this, and so much more. Is Josh powerful enough to keep the media from this?
Since I came to Congress, I’ve been laser focused on two issues: childcare & public safety.
That’s why I’m proud to get the backs of law enforcement & support the bipartisan Providing Child Care for Police Officers Act, which ensures our officers can access quality childcare.
@RepJoshG
Well done Josh. You saved wealthy people, who take their luxury cars into the city, a lot of money at the expense of everyone else.
This is what NJ-5 gets when we continually elect a guy who gets less than 1% of his campaign donations from small donors.
@Josh4Jersey
No, you simply purchased them.
That said, wait until they hear about how you prosecute your own constinuents, with the help of the entire North Jersey Democratic Party, then never show up to 5 hearings or the trial, and then lose to someone who doesn't even lawyer up.
As I run for political office for the first time, I completely get why people don't do this. When you lift the sheet just a little, you realize that almost everything and everyone is corrupt, and neither party really cares about the people they "serve."
Why do we allow this?
After seeing so many New Jersey "progressives" rally around Kamala Harris, I am under no delusion of how alone this campaign really is, or why none of these people are coming to aid this campaign.
We will fight hard and win anyway, with or without their help.
Amazing how
@RepJoshG
/
@Josh4Jersey
can invoke the name of Mr. Lewis while at the same time advocate for apartheid, fund genocide, stifle free speech, avoid accountability, and promote legislation that only assists the wealthiest citizens among us.
It's all lies, and it's gross.
59 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, addressing the scourge of racism in our democracy.
Decades later, far-right extremists are chipping away at this law, case by case. We must stand strong and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
I've argued with this guy quite a bit but he's much better than Josh Gottheimer and I still think people should vote for Beau Forte over Josh Gottheimer.
@RepJoshG
@RepScottPeters
IS THIS FOR REAL!? You really believe people are dumb.
Your focus has been Israel and wealthy people, period.
What a horrible person.
This guy makes crazy amounts of money from the private health insurance industry and big pharma, both in the way of stock trades and campaign donations.
He does this as he keeps you from ever having universal healthcare.
How can anyone be ok with that?
Earlier this year, we reported on a purchase of Agios Pharmaceutical stock by Representative Josh Gottheimer that looked suspicious to us.
The stock has now risen 117% since his trade.
Four years ago, the Democratic Party caved in on itself to support Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders. This year, Democrats had no interest in primaries.
Democrats are now in a panic searching for a replacement, and looking at another 4 years of Trump.
They did it to themselves
I am humbled ,and eternally grateful to Richard Siegel for his endorsement of this campaign.
I will nevet let him down, or anyone else looking for justice in Palestine.
LET'S GO!
How about human-being insurance premiums!?!?
This guy is hostile to universal healthcare, takes MILLIONS in bribes from the health insurance lobby, and then has the nerve to post this shit!?
He is a sociopath, period.
August is National Dog Month! This month (and every month!), I’m so glad to have Rosie as part of my family.
I’m working to make it more affordable for Jersey residents to welcome a dog into their families by fighting exorbitant pet insurance premiums.
Democrats now have two people on top of their ticket who never won a single state primary.
Yet, this is how we save democracy.
It's like living in The Twilight Zone...
If course he did.
He never joined CNN to discuss the genocide Israel is committing, and never joined CNN to discuss what Amnesty International has called Israel's apartheid system.
But for layup questions where he isn't challenged at all, Josh is there.
He's weak.
I joined CNN this morning to discuss Hezbollah’s recent attacks on Israel, hostage negotiations, and the importance of supporting democracy around the globe.
We must free the hostages, deliver humanitarian aid, and defeat Iranian-backed terrorist groups.
I refuse to watch supposed "progressive" people cowtow to corporate owned centrists tonight, and celebrate the SELECTION of AIPAC's Democratic Nominee.
When SCOTUS selected Bush in 2000, it was a travesty.
Now, it's a party...
Every dollar raised helps this campaign spread it's message of ceasefire NOW, universal healthcare, and the expansion of Congress.
Help us do something historic this November.
…
Bowman and Bush out thanks to The Israel Lobby, genocide continues with the support of The United States under a Democratic administration, and the current Dem nominee never won a primary.
Somehow, "progressives" are excited about things.
IT'S LIKE LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
The madness and cruelty of the current far-right Israeli regime is infuriating.
The support of this from my own country is equally infuriating, as well as embarrassing and depressing.
This is Josh Gottheimer's America, one that supports Israeli cruelty at all cost.
Gaza man w/ Down's syndrome attacked by IDF dog & left to die
“The Israeli military has admitted that a Palestinian man w/ Down's syndrome who was attacked by an army dog in Gaza was left on his own by soldiers, after his family had been ordered to leave”
"If one man has a dollar he didn't work for, some other man worked for a dollar he didn't get."
"A liberal is a guy who leaves the room when a fight breaks out."

Right after Israel bombed a school!?
F*** Joe Biden, f*** John Kirby, f*** Anthony Blinkin, f*** Kamala and f*** Democrats in general. As corrupt as they are locally here in NJ, they still don't have anything on the national party who assists & supports the killing of children.
It is sickening beyond words that just days after Israel bombs a school killing over 100 Palestinians, the US State Dept. approves $20 billion in new weapon sales to Israel. Please folks. We in the US MUST RISE UP and DEMAND an end to this!!!

@TheOnion
Sometimes farce and comedy are far more impactful than truth and reality. The left loses me sometimes when it comes to comedy. I don't see this as making a punchline of kids being murdered in any way. It's raw and honest, using comedy as the lead.
Our elected officials are completely the same. No, I mean that they are COMPLETELY the same.
Same party, same talking points, same master.
Scary times...
It's politicians like
@CraigGuyHC
, who put political rivalries, and/or love of money and power, way ahead of decency and fighting for regular people.
We will be so much better off as a society when we stop voting for corrupt, machine politicians like Craig Guy.
The IDF is destroying water stations. The depravity of their actions will never be forgotten by me, and hopefully the world feels the same way.
Where is
@RepJoshG
, where are The Democrats, or any American legislators to condemn this vile war crime?
What a horror!
@ArielElyseGold
She also put THOUSANDS of non-violent drug offenders in prison while refusing to prosecute Steve Mnuchin for stealing thousands of homes.
Stop it....
This will be the 3rd presidential election cycle in a row where Democrats didn't really allow its members to choose the nominee.....and all while telling all of us that we need to vote for them to save democracy.
It's comedy....but it's not.
When she goes right to 10/7 as if history starts there, why do you believe you can "move her" on this issue??
You can't. This party is corrupt and broken beyond repair, and Kamala isn't moving from her current positions on this, or anything else.
🇮🇱🇺🇸 Kamala Harris confirms that her policy on Israel/Gaza is going to be exactly the same as Joe Bidens:
BASH: "Would you do anything differently? For example, would you withhold some U.S. weapons shipments to Israel?"
KAMALA: "I'm unwavering in my commitment to Israel's
I think Kamala is in trouble. After her crazy hawk speech at The DNC that sounded like it could've been written by Dick Cheney, and after fumbling the Palestine issue over and over and over, I don't see how Dems could come out of this convention excited at all.
If we are ever going to come together as a nation again, we need to start talking and listening to each other again.
When this campaign wins in November, I will fight to bring back The Fairness Doctrine, which will help to ensure that all sides are at least represented in media.
I received a generous donation yesterday, replied with a personal thank you today, and recieved an amazing email in return! I was thanked for filling out the Ballotopedia Q and A, and was told by the person that they learned a lot about me because of it.
I proudly give my endorsement to Beau Forte for Congressman for New Jersey. Beau is a fierce fighter of the wrongs in politics. Beau is owned by no party. I encourage you to support Beau as he supports the people of New Jersey.
There is one party in The United States, and it is The Corporate Party. It is funded by Goldman-Sachs, Boeing, AIPAC, McDonalds, and many others.
When the majority of political donors throw lots of money to both parties, we all lose.
I was thrilled to join Andover Township Mayor Janis McGovern & Pace Glass leaders to break ground on the new Pace Glass recycling facility, which demonstrates the power of business & government working together for a common goal.
@ABirritteri
@NJBmagazine
As of 2:30 this afternoon, it is official. This campaign is on the ballot!
For the first time ever, the residents of New Jersey's 5th District will have the opportunity to vote for universal healthcare and the expansion of Congress.
Lets make history together this November!!
Watching progressives fall in line for this awful woman is so disheartening. She couldn't even come in 3rd in a primary, couldn't raise money, now this is what Democrats are shoving down The Left's throats. What a horrific, undemocratic political party.
@K_JeanPierre
How do you sleep at night being such an immense sellout for AIPAC!? You are such a disgrace Karine, and so many people will never forget it. Hope that Israeli apartheid money was worth it.
PFANJ also endorsed Jeff Van Drew, Robert Menendez, and Tom Kean Jr.
Josh is in perfect company here, as PFANJ seems to only endorse AIPAC/corporate owned criminals who are hostile to free speech and universal healthcare.
I like my
@TrackAIPAC
endorsement much more!
I am beyond honored & grateful to have the support of PFANJ. Our firefighters and first responders put their lives on the line every day to keep our Jersey families and communities safe. I will always have their backs!

Millions in AIPAC dollars standing in this photo.
Glad to see everyone having a good time while 1000 Americans go bankrupt daily, solely due to personal medical bills.
@RepJoshG
Who is calling for "the deaths of Jews???!" This is dangerous rhetoric that only further divides both sides, and it's completely dishonest! I've attended some, and know many who have attended, and not once have I heard, or would condone someone saying this!
Josh is dangerous!
NJ Transit is about to have a 15% fare hike, which will negatively impact every working person who counts on that service.
@RepJoshG
fought for YEARS to stop New York's Congestion Tax, because of the impact it would have on wealthy commuters who drive into NYC.
On this, nada.
I wake up totally shocked that Kamala Harris thinks it's smart to act dumb with her left flank.
A real leader handles that protest in Michigan much differently. This is why she never won a state primary.
She is a lightweight who has been carried by AIPAC, and her own party.
After speaking to a few progressives who are firmly in line with Kamala Harris, I am no closer to understanding how people can support and campaign for someone that they firmly disagree with on so many important issues.
These are good and smart people, but I just don't get it.
As I've been saying, and not just for me, but the entire Green 13, and all Green candidates nationally.
That's how you build a party, from the bottom up. From the top down is impossible.
@Beau4Congress
@RepJoshG
@GreenPartyUS
should be putting more resources towards your campaign so you can win. There is no risk of splitting the vote with the lesser of two evils, so we might as well use more resources to get you elected.
Man! All I did was repost her campaign meet and greet invitation, where it would cost you a mimimum of $125 to attend.
Yea, i criticized it, but it deserved it!
She seems a little sensitive to be a candidate for Congress.
@suealtman
Shilling for a right wing anti-universal healthcare, insider trading, anti-free speech Democrat like Josh won't get you anywhere Sue.
Yes, these messages are abhorrent, but they do not represent the people who simply want an end to apartheid and genocide.
Tusk Stategies, which is owned by Bradley Tusk, who also happens to be Josh Gottheimer's brother-in-law, is one of the dark money companies that funds the politicians who support the apartheid and genocide that we fight against.
Stop Tusk, and start watching the dominoes fall.
“Just sour grapes,” sniffed Chris Coffey, a longtime New York political consultant and CEO of Tusk Strategies. “The far left has been threatening Ritchie certainly since Oct. 7 and before...Ritchie works really, really hard in his district, he is very well liked in his district.”
How disgusting that the only woman, as well as the only Muslim, will not be included in this debate!
Shame on
@RepAndyKimNJ
and
@Bashawforsenate
, as well as both Democrats and Republicans.
Racist cowards.
Today should be Fred Hampton's 76th birthday. He was assassinated by the Chicago PD at only 21 years old.
We will eventually win, because we are right.
