Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 5th district since 2017, posted several updates on his official Twitter account on May 5, 2026, highlighting his recent activities in Congress and outreach to constituents.
In a tweet posted at 13:00 UTC, Gottheimer wrote: “I had the honor of leading the Law Enforcement Caucus alongside my Co-Chair Rep. Rutherford to recognize the sacrifice of the 363 brave officers whose names will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial here in Washington. 11 of those officers are from New”. This message referenced a ceremony honoring law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Later that day at 15:15 UTC, Gottheimer addressed New York Governor Kathy Hochul directly with a brief statement and link: “.@GovKathyHochul just going to leave this here: https://t.co/wNej7RPetF https://t.co/mUgBs5Z4j5”.
At 16:00 UTC, he informed constituents about mobile office hours for assistance with federal agencies: “The #TeamGottheimer Constituent Services Team will be holding mobile office hours in Emerson and Tenafly today, Tuesday, May 5. If you’re experiencing an issue with your VA benefits, Social Security, Medicare, or need help with a federal agency, we’re here to listen & help.”
