We all see it. We all hear it. The images of children stripped away from their families. Their cries as they lose the only family they know and are alone in a strange environment. Imagine their heartache, their despair, their loneliness, their trauma. 

Watch Marisol Cruz, the mother of Maurice Lewis, address the Millville City Commission about the gun violence that resulted in the murder of her son. She speaks about the need for a safer city and the donut effect, which leads to the systemic neglecting of our inner city, and the need for more support. 

It is the most heartbreaking part of being an educator. You work with so many students, and will inevitably lose some. Disease, addiction, freak accidents, violence on the streets. I have lost students before. But never under the circumstances that claimed the life of my student, Maurice Lewis. **

After significant reflection with my family and campaign team, I am withdrawing my candidacy from the 2018 Democratic Primary for the open United States House of Representatives seat in New Jersey’s Second Congressional District.

Dear DCCC, Everywhere you look, you see something amazing happening across the nation. Democrats are beating Republicans in deeply red districts; the same districts that Trump won in 2016. Thirty-seven legislative districts have flipped, and that trend is likely to continue. With places like Florida’s 72nd, Kentucky’s 49th, and Missouri’s 97th switching from red to blue, a wave of change is sweeping our country.

Losing one of your students is hard. Losing one of your children is unfathomable. But, here we are, the day after another school shooting in our country that resulted in the death of 17 high school children and school staff. The 18th school shooting in our nation in 45 days.

The United States House of Representatives recently voted on whether or not to allow an effort for impeachment of the 45th President of the United States to continue at this time. In response to this it should be made clear that whereas Donald J. Trump’s actions and behavior is clearly unbecoming of the office of which he holds, it is critical to give deference to the rule of law and await the forthcoming findings of the independent investigation headed by Robert Mueller.

Dear DNC Chair Tom Perez & DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison,We can agree, too many nationally elected officials put corporate interest over the interests of our people. Our fellow Americans are tired of politicians who bend to the will of corporate donors and special interest. This is evident in polls and vocal dissent. Unfortunately, our party is not immune to politicians influenced by cronyism.
