Josh Gottheimer, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 5th district since 2017, has been actively engaging with his constituents through social media platforms. His recent tweets reflect on significant legislative milestones and current events affecting his community.
On July 7, 2025, Gottheimer commemorated the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act by acknowledging its importance as one of the nation’s critical civil rights laws. He emphasized the ongoing need to support “the 60+ million Americans with disabilities” during Disability Pride Month. “35 years ago, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act — one of our country’s most critical civil rights laws.”
Later that day, Gottheimer addressed severe weather conditions impacting parts of New Jersey. He noted that some areas experienced up to six inches of rain and extended gratitude towards first responders for their efforts in safeguarding communities during these hazardous conditions. “Severe storms and flash flood warnings are impacting parts of Jersey, with some communities seeing up to six inches of rain.”
In another post on July 7, he shared about participating in local celebrations for Independence Day alongside #TeamGottheimer at Ridgefield Park’s Fourth of July Flag Raising Ceremony and Bergen County’s Star Spangled Spectacular event. “#TeamGottheimer was proud to join the Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Flag Raising Ceremony and the Bergen County Star Spangled Spectacular to celebrate the greatest country in the world!”
As a representative deeply rooted in his community—born in Livingston and residing in Wyckoff—Gottheimer continues to engage actively on issues pertinent to both his district and national discourse.
