Rep. Josh Gottheimer, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 5th district since 2017, recently addressed several pressing issues through his social media platform. Born in Livingston, New Jersey, in 1975 and residing in Wyckoff, Gottheimer has been an active voice on matters affecting both his constituency and broader international relations.
On June 4, 2025, Gottheimer expressed concern over recent antisemitic attacks targeting the Jewish community. In a tweet, he stated: “In the wake of two horrific antisemitic attacks on the Jewish community in less than two weeks, the need for additional federal security assistance is incredibly clear.” He urged Congress to increase funding to ensure safety for Jewish families across the nation.
Later that day, at 18:04 UTC, Gottheimer extended congratulations to South Korea’s newly elected President Lee Jae-myung. He emphasized the importance of maintaining strong bilateral ties between the United States and South Korea by stating in a tweet: “Now more than ever, it is critical that the U.S.-South Korean relationship remains strong. Together, we must reaffirm our shared commitment to democracy and peace.”
At 20:14 UTC on June 4th, Rep. Gottheimer criticized President Trump’s budget proposal via another tweet. He described it as detrimental to families in New Jersey due to cuts impacting food assistance, public health services, heating and cooling aid, public education funding, and national security measures. He warned that such reductions would lead to adverse effects on family welfare by making them “sicker, poorer, and less safe.”
