Small businesses power opportunity—and women entrepreneurs are driving innovation in every corner of our country.
I celebrated International Women’s Day with the Association of Women’s Business Centers to honor the women turning vision into impact.
It’s time to talk about what’s happening in the 10th. Join me Monday for my State of the District address. RVSP now at the link below. I’ll see you there 👀
No matter how many of our protections are attacked, I will stand up to defend the rights of women across the country.
I’m honored to receive the Equal Rights Champion Award for standing firm for the ERA. We won’t stop fighting until equality is guaranteed for every woman.
I cherish what I have been able to do for NJ-10 and I’m excited for what is to come.
Everything I have to say doesn’t fit in a short clip—that’s why I want to see you at my State of the District address. Reserve your spot today!
Team LaMonica is ready to help you with all your casework, passport, and federal needs and inquiries! Stop by Mobile Office Hours this month.
On the House floor, I was proud to shout out Andrés Acebo, the 13th President of New Jersey City University.
From steering NJCU back from a fiscal crisis to expanding opportunities for Hudson County students, his leadership reflects his resilience and deep community roots.

I loved reading with students and celebrating the power of books at Newark Educators Community Charter School and Michelle Obama Elementary during Read Across America Week. It’s important to me that NJ-10 kids understand how reading builds empathy and sparks imagination.
Our NJ-10 community iftar is one of my favorite events of the year. My heart was filled with joy from this time of fellowship and nourishment with you all.
NJ-10 district residents in need of assistance departing from the Middle East should follow these instructions:
This year, I fought for and secured millions of federal dollars to fund job trainings, STEM programs, access to clean water, and much more.
And I’m ready to bring you more wins in FY27. Submissions are open for your appropriations requests. Let’s get to work for our community!
Every community deserves places where families can walk, kids can bike, and residents can connect with nature a little longer. Today, I introduced the Parks to People Active Transportation Act to connect our neighborhoods to our parks and our parks to our downtowns.
Unbought and unbossed, Shirley Chisholm was a hero. I stand on her shoulders—so many of us do. I was honored to talk about her legacy at the 7th Annual Great Emancipation Day Celebration.
This week in the 10th (and in Washington!) team LaMonica was…
🙅🏽♀️ Standing up to Trump’s lies by boycotting his SOTU at the People’s State of the Union.
📢Defending our voice in Washington.
📚 “RE:Claiming” truth at Caldwell University’s Social Justice Symposium.
Truth is a moral commitment and without truth, there is no justice.
I was honored to join Caldwell University’s 5th Annual Social Justice Symposium and stand with students and educators under the theme: RE:Claim Truth.
I was truly touched by the warmth and togetherness we shared at last year’s community Iftar—and I’m looking forward to seeing you again this year! Come break your fast with me on Monday evening.
Americans don’t want more endless war, but Trump clearly does.
There is no clear objective, let alone legal authority, for this recklessness. Trump is risking the lives of our troops and ignoring the power of Congress for his illegal war with Iran. When he ran on peace, he lied—as he always does.
This year, I invite our student artists to submit artwork under the theme of resistance and resilience, reflecting NJ-10’s rich history of activism and the experiences of those living in our district.
Submit your artwork to the district office by April 24th!
Trayvon Martin was only 17. On this day in 2012, he was murdered. As we do the urgent work of disarming hate and making sure Black kids can grow up safe and free, we think of him—and we will keep saying his name.
I’m sending love to his family and community.
ICE is hurting people in our communities. What happened in Newark today is not isolated—it’s part of a steady drumbeat of harm ICE is doing right here in NJ and around this country. Because ICE continues to act recklessly, lawlessly, and without accountability, no one is safe.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, abolish ICE.
Families are struggling to manage costs, freedoms are under attack, and people are just plain scared.
Last night Trump lied about the reality we are facing and lied about the actual state of our union.
Tonight, at the State of the Union, Trump will lie about the cruelty of his presidency. But the people Trump is attacking have faces, voices, and stories. They are the stories of this country.
I was honored to have my story included alongside brave folks standing up to Trump.
"The threats facing our democracy have never been greater."
As Congress prepares for the State of the Union, we are hosting a first-ever "State of Our Democracy" address—delivered by @replamonica.bsky.social and streaming live on @meidastouch.com tomorrow morning.
