MAHWAH, N.J. — Congressman Josh Gottheimer was at Ramapo College on February 11 to report on the State of the 5^th District. Among those in attendance were municipal leaders, members of the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, area residents, as well as members of the Ramapo College Board of Trustees, student body, administration, faculty and staff. President Peter P. Mercer expressed his sincere thanks for the Congressman’s dedication to the issues facing New Jersey and for being “fully engaged in the task at hand.”

This was the Congressman’s second visit to Ramapo College.

Student Government President Stephan Lally welcomed everyone and Danielle Zanoni ’19 sang the National Anthem to open the event.

In the Congressman’s remarks, he outlined his clear vision for the future of New Jersey education, and the economy, and he noted the need for “common sense solutions and working together across party lines.” The state’s high taxes and aging infrastructure are obstacles that need urgent attention, he said.

“As I enter my second term in Congress, I think it’s important to take stock of our district and state, to review our challenges and opportunities, and to chart a course for a stronger New Jersey. Today, I’m going to talk about how, working together, across party lines, we capitalize on our strengths to grow and succeed, to fight even more for what our state deserves and pays for, what we could be doing even better, and how we must invest in our communities in the years ahead.”
