Rep. Josh Gottheimer, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 5th district, has recently shared his perspectives and activities through a series of tweets. These posts address issues ranging from economic concerns to healthcare funding and community engagement.

On February 15, 2025, Rep. Gottheimer expressed concern about the impact of inflation on families' finances, stating: "Inflation is draining the pocketbooks of those just trying to put food on the table. That’s why in Congress, I remain laser-focused on bringing costs down, lowering taxes, and making life more affordable for hardworking families."

The following day, February 16, 2025, he addressed healthcare funding in New Jersey nursing homes: "More than half of patients in NJ nursing homes rely on Medicaid for care. Far-right extremists are trying to slash Medicaid funding and take away healthcare for our most vulnerable residents — we won’t let them."

Later that same day, Rep. Gottheimer shared a community initiative involving local students and veterans: "Hope everyone had a very Happy Valentine’s Day! Every year, I work with local students to make & collect Valentines to deliver to our local veterans. This year, we collected more than 3,000 cards!"
