Rep. Josh Gottheimer, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 5th district, has shared a series of tweets addressing various national and international issues. These posts provide insights into his stance on infrastructure funding, international diplomacy, and trade policies.

On November 26, 2024, Rep. Gottheimer emphasized the importance of financial support for security measures in New Jersey. He stated that "These dollars will help ensure Jersey pocketbooks don’t bear the cost of critical bomb detection, counter-drone measures, tactical response teams, reinforcing critical infrastructure and essential utilities, road closures, and so much more."

Later that day, he commented on an international development involving Israel and Hezbollah. On November 26, 2024, he remarked that "The deal announced between Israel and Hezbollah is a critical and positive development." He further noted its implications for Hamas by stating that it demonstrates to them "that they can be defeated," as their "Iranian-backed terrorist allies are abandoning them."

On November 27, 2024, Rep. Gottheimer addressed economic concerns regarding President-elect Trump's proposed tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. He warned about the potential impact on consumers by saying "President-elect Trump promised a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico & Canada — raising the already-high cost of goods for hard-working Jersey families." He expressed his commitment to protecting American consumers' financial interests.
