  • The sponsor of this bill is Josh Gottheimer. Ballotpedia says the Democratic primary is on June 2, but doesn’t list any challengers. If you’re a local, maybe you know if he has a challenger?

    In any case, do the following if you live there:

    • Add “fire Josh Gottheimer” to your calendar for both June 2 2026, and November 3 2026

    • Send him a letter/email explaining why this issue is important enough for you to vote Republican if it goes through, and maybe include a screenshot of that calendar entry just for fun

    If enough people send a message like that, he’ll hopefully work to kill it.

    If you don’t live in New Jersey, write and send a similar letter/email to your own representative. If you’re a Republican, say you’ll be willing to vote Democrat instead.

    Regardless, what you shouldn’t do is bitch and complain on the internet to strangers on the internet.

    Congress people are mostly tech illiterate and willing to eat whatever bull$hit big tech lobbysits feed them. They are not, however, stupid enough to ignore constituents who are angry enough to send them a letter. Why? Because most Americans only ever vote in presidential elections, so the population of people who will vote in a midterm (much less a primary) is very small. Going through the effort to write an email (or mail a physical letter) is a strong signal that you are one of those people who will get their ass out to the polls on election day and hurt their chances.
