Representative Josh Gottheimer, who has served New Jersey’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, addressed a range of issues on July 11, 2025, through several posts on social media. Gottheimer is known for his active engagement with both local and national matters.
In a post published at 16:34 UTC, Gottheimer congratulated tennis player Amanda Anisimova on her recent achievement: “Congrats to New Jersey’s own Amanda Anisimova on making it to the #Wimbledon final! Never bet against Jersey. I know our whole state is cheering you on to win The Championship!”
Later that day, at 18:25 UTC, Gottheimer commented on reports concerning Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and U.S. support for Ukraine: “Reports that @SecDef Pete Hegseth unilaterally paused support for Ukraine without informing the White House are deeply concerning. Military aid for Ukraine is a lifeline in light of Russia’s recent attacks on innocent civilians. It’s more jaw-dropping incompetence from Hegseth”
At 21:18 UTC, Gottheimer criticized content posted by Grok and called for accountability from Elon Musk: “.@Grok’s vile, antisemitic, and violent content this week is beyond unacceptable. I helped lead my colleagues in a letter to @ElonMusk demanding answers. We’re not letting this slide, and we will be waiting for a real response.”
Josh Gottheimer was born in Livingston, New Jersey in 1975 and currently resides in Wyckoff. He holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
