Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 5th district since 2017, has recently shared his thoughts on various topics through social media posts. Gottheimer, who was born in Livingston, New Jersey in 1975 and resides in Wyckoff, is known for his advocacy and legislative work.
On March 8, 2025, Rep. Josh Gottheimer expressed his support for women’s rights by celebrating International Women's Day. In his tweet, he acknowledged the contributions of women who have fought for equality: "Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today I’m celebrating the generations of courageous women who have spearheaded the fight for equality. I’ll always fight in Congress on behalf of all women across Northern New Jersey!"
Later that day, Gottheimer addressed a decision by the Department of Homeland Security regarding union protections for TSA officers. He voiced his disagreement with this policy change, stating: "Our @TSA officers are on the front lines keeping our skies and airports secure. The @DHSgov decision to dismantle union protections for TSA is a mistake. Weakening workers’ rights won’t strengthen security."

He expressed his condolences and support for the affected families and officers: "I am heartbroken to hear about the tragic violence in Newark last night.
