Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 5th district since 2017, recently addressed several topics on his social media account, including foreign policy and domestic economic issues.

Later that day, he commented on the Supreme Court’s decision concerning tariffs imposed by former President Trump: “Trump’s blanket tariffs have always been nothing more than a new $1,700 tax on Jersey families.
Today, the Supreme Court stood up for our Constitution and struck down these reckless tariffs so we can bring down costs and get money back in your pockets.

On February 21, 2026, Gottheimer highlighted the story of an individual named Dren and acknowledged those who supported him: “Dren said football was “the light at the end of the tunnel.”
To his coaches, teammates, nurses, and especially his parents Luiza and Driton: thank you for standing beside him every step of the way. Those are real Jersey Values.
