The Blueprint for a Jersey First Future

---

 I am running for Congress because life in New Jersey has become unaffordable and unfair for the very people who work hard, play by the rules, and keep this state running.

Middle-class adults are struggling to stay afloat. Young people cannot afford to buy a home. Families are buried under student loan debt pushed by the federal government. Parents are losing control over their children’s education. Communities feel less safe. Speech is controlled. Costs keep rising. Politicians keep rewarding themselves.

Donald Norcross has been in Washington long enough to stop this. Instead he supports the same policies and political culture that created the problem.

The cost of living is crushing New Jersey families. Groceries, utilities, housing, insurance, childcare, healthcare, and everyday necessities cost more every year. Wages have not kept up. Even when inflation slows down, prices never go back down.

Over the last decade New Jersey more than doubled the minimum wage. Trenton sold it as helping workers, but when labor costs double, prices follow. Families pay more for food, services, repairs, dining out, and childcare. The lowest wage workers got a headline raise. The middle class got the bill.

At the same time, state politicians voted themselves a sixty-seven percent pay raise. Families did not get a sixty seven percent raise. Politicians did.

In Washington Donald Norcross votes for spending, mandates, and policies that mirror the same approach that made New Jersey unaffordable. More government, more spending, more rules, more costs, and less accountability.

As a member of Congress I will focus relentlessly on affordability. I will oppose reckless federal spending that drives prices higher. I will fight unfunded mandates that raise property taxes and local costs. I will support tax relief for working families so people can keep more of what they earn. I will push back on regulations that raise prices for consumers and small businesses.

 Young adults are being locked out of the American Dream. Even with good jobs they cannot afford to buy a home. High home prices, high interest rates, high rents, and high taxes make saving impossible. Many delay marriage, families, and homeownership not by choice but by force.

At the same time the federal government pushed an entire generation into massive student loan debt. Colleges raised tuition because the government guaranteed the loans. Banks had no risk. Universities had no limits. Students became the product.

Donald Norcross supported expanding the same federal student loan system that caused this crisis. That debt now follows young people for decades and blocks their future.

As a member of Congress I will fight to reform federal student loan programs, end blank check lending to colleges, expand alternatives to college, support apprenticeships and certifications, and create policies that help first time homebuyers instead of institutions.

 I come from the trades. I know what it means to work with your hands, show up early, learn a skill, and earn a living building something real. The trades built the middle class in South Jersey.

Washington ignored that path and pushed college at any cost. That choice created massive debt, labor shortages, higher construction costs, and fewer opportunities for young people who want to work.

College should be an option, not a trap. The trades should be respected, supported, and treated as a first class career path.

In Congress I will support vocational training, apprenticeships, workforce development tied to real jobs, American manufacturing, and infrastructure work that uses American labor. I will fight regulations that drive up construction and housing costs and make it harder for working people to succeed.

 People do not trust elections if the system does not make sense. In New Jersey you do not need ID to vote. The state issues driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. People register to vote at motor vehicles. Voter rolls are filled with dead voters, duplicate registrations, and people who moved out of state years ago.

Elected officials know this and refuse to fix it because the system benefits them. Donald Norcross supports the party that blocks voter ID, blocks citizenship verification, and blocks cleaning up voter rolls.

As a member of Congress I will support voter ID for federal elections, citizenship verification for federal voter registration, mandatory voter roll maintenance, removal of deceased and inactive voters, and transparency in how voter registration is handled. Every legal vote should count. Every illegal vote should be prevented.

 Even with the border no longer wide open, New Jersey continues to pay the price for years of failed policies. The cost of illegal immigration to New Jersey taxpayers is estimated at seven point three billion dollars every year.

That money goes to healthcare, education, housing, benefits, driver’s licenses, legal services, and enforcement costs. Meanwhile, American citizens struggle to afford basic necessities.

Donald Norcross supports the political agenda that made New Jersey a sanctuary state in practice. That agenda puts illegal immigrants ahead of American citizens.

In Congress I will fight to block federal funding to sanctuary policies, require transparency on the true cost of illegal immigration, prioritize citizens first in all federal programs, and ensure taxpayer dollars serve the people who paid into the system.

 Parents have the right to know what their children are being taught and what is happening in their schools. That right is being stripped away.

Too many schools hide information from parents, introduce age-inappropriate material, and treat families as obstacles instead of partners. Federal funding is used to push ideological agendas instead of education.

Donald Norcross supports the system that empowers the government over parents.

As a member of Congress I will support a federal parents bill of rights tied to federal funding. Schools receiving federal dollars must be transparent, notify parents of major issues, allow opt outs from sensitive material, and respect parental authority. Children are not wards of the state. Families come first.

Public safety is the foundation of a functioning society. When law and order breaks down, families pay the price through higher insurance costs, lower property values, closed businesses, and unsafe communities.

Soft on crime policies protect repeat offenders, weaken enforcement, and abandon victims. Donald Norcross supports the political approach that excuses criminals while attacking law enforcement.

In Congress I will support law enforcement funding without ideological strings, strengthen penalties for violent and repeat offenders, protect victims rights, support first responders, and demand that federal agencies focus on real crime instead of politics.

 Free speech is under attack through coordination between government agencies, corporate media, and technology platforms that decide what Americans are allowed to hear.

Important stories are ignored, labeled as misinformation, or suppressed. Corruption goes unchallenged. Bad policies stay in place.

I started America’s Pulse Network and the Jersey Sure podcast because every day, people had no voice. Their stories were ignored. Honest conversations were shut down. I built an independent platform so citizens could speak freely and hold power accountable.

As a member of Congress I will fight government coordination with tech companies to censor speech, reform Section 230, demand transparency, protect independent media, and defend the First Amendment without exceptions.

 Healthcare is already too expensive for New Jersey families. Premiums and deductibles are crushing seniors, working adults, and young people.

Instead of fixing that, the New Jersey Assembly just advanced legislation to provide taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. That cost will be passed directly to citizens who cannot afford care for themselves.

Donald Norcross supports the ideology that made this possible.

In Congress I will fight to block federal funding for healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants, require citizenship verification for federally funded programs, prioritize American citizens, increase transparency, and reduce mandates that drive up healthcare costs.

 This all comes back to one problem. A political machine that protects itself while families struggle.

Spending goes up. Accountability disappears. Politicians give themselves raises. Institutions get protected. Citizens get excuses.

Donald Norcross represents that system. I am running to challenge it.

I will demand transparency, strengthen oversight, protect whistleblowers, oppose insider perks, and fight career politics.

I am not running to join the political class. I am running to fight for working families, young people, parents, and citizens who feel like the system left them behind.

Affordability. Accountability. Opportunity. Safety. Freedom.

South Jersey deserves leadership that puts American citizens first.

That is why I am running for Congress.
