Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) hosted a Telephone Town Hall on women’s health issues with nearly a thousand North Jersey residents on June 25, 2024. During the call, Gottheimer discussed his significant work to make childcare more affordable by expanding the Child Tax Credit, protect reproductive freedom including IVF, and address America’s maternal health crisis. He also highlighted his successful campaign to stop New York’s Congestion Tax and save Jersey commuters money.
“It is always an honor to connect with North Jersey residents and share more about my work in Washington to advocate for them,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “At our Telephone Town Hall, I emphasized the importance of women’s health issues, especially in light of the Dobbs decision’s two-year anniversary.” “I will continue to fight for Jersey women and families, no matter what,” he added.
Gottheimer was joined on the call by Temple Israel Rabbi David Fine, Bergen County Commissioner Tracy Zur, West Point Admissions Liaison Officer Kirsten Dickson, Deputy Director of Policy and Communications at Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey Sarah Best, and Chief Medical Officer at Hackensack University Medical Center Dr. Lisa Tank.
The Women’s Health Telephone Town Hall focused on crucial topics such as reproductive freedom, maternal health, affordable childcare, and more. Gotheimer and the panelists engaged in a meaningful discussion about how to tackle these pressing concerns and continue advocating for women and families across the region.
