This week, the calendar reads like a chorus line of traditions. Tuesday rang in the Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras, and today opens both Ash Wednesday and Ramadan. Different paths. Shared dignity. One community.

We need to get the billions of corporate dollars out of our elections. Billionaires do not own our democracy; you do. This country was not built to be an oligarchy. I'm running to put people first and bring the people’s voice back into politics. Link in bio to donate.

For months, NJ has been at the mercy of the Trump Administration for the Gateway Tunnel funding, and now he wants us to inflate his ego for money we should’ve already received. Where has our congressman been through this ordeal? Right by Trump’s side. Enough is enough.

They call it chaos. I call it a pattern: when families need relief, they get higher costs, especially in housing. NJ families are being priced out while leaders stay quiet. Real solutions > empty suits.

NJ-11 is saying the quiet part out loud: people want something different. We hear it at every stop. Michael’s running to be a public servant, accountable to voters, not party bosses or corporate interests. New kind of leadership. Full stop.

“Dark money in our politics is poison.” No hedging. Just the truth. 💥 Take a minute and listen to my full answer on corporate PAC money in campaigns. Transparency is the price of democracy.

Nearly 2000 NJ layoffs already this year. Amazon closures. Insurance job cuts. Rising unemployment. Behind every layoff is a family reworking their budget and their future. We need an economy built around workers, not just balance sheets. I’m running to make that reality. More

🌱Our campaign is earning the support of respected climate and environmental leaders who know this moment demands action, not delay. More endorsements are on the way. The movement is building, and it’s built to win. More ⬇️

The death of Alex Pretti was state-sanctioned murder. No more. ICE is now one of the 20 highest funded armies in the world with complete immunity. What we see from ICE is authoritarianism in plain sight. What we need to do is fund healthcare and education, not a domestic army.

Donald Trump is using ICE to send a message: if you do not obey, they’re coming for you. We will not bend, we will not bow, and we will not give up on each other.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Economic Leaders for Michael – a coalition of national and statewide economic leaders across sectors who believe that Michael has the values, experience, and economic expertise needed to deliver for working families in New Jersey.

To all veterans — thank you. We owe our lives and freedoms to your service.

Congratulations to @repbonnie.bsky.social on her remarkable legacy of service. Her dedication to her community is an inspiration to all.

This isn't a deal - it's a total surrender. My statement on the shutdown deal.

After two years of devastating violence, this is the biggest step towards peace and reconciliation we’ve seen. End the bloodshed and bring them home.

it’s a love story

The antidote to disillusionment is community. And Somerset County 4-H Fair has it in spades. This fair shows what makes NJ so special — family, community, agriculture, food, small business, and caring for each other. But the best part of our state will always be the people.

Spare us the bullshit. Your votes to slash Medicaid show us what you really think.

Yesterday, @andykimnj.bsky.social held a town hall in Westfield to do what Tom Kean Jr fails to do: show up for NJ-07. Sen. Kim reminded us that the opposite of democracy is apathy — and seeing 500+ people turn out strengthened my belief that we will flip NJ-07 next year if we continue to show up.

Thank you to Lambertville Indivisible group for a great event honoring John Lewis. Shoutout to organizer Cindi Sternfeld for her call to action: “Hope will only take us so far. It is better to decide. I don’t want you to sit home and hope — I want you to go out and decide what comes next.”

Big thanks to Mount Olive Dems + Chair Andy Meissner for hosting me! We talked about making NJ affordable, how we win in November, & how we finish the job in ’26. With Morris Dems & Chair Darcy Draeger, we’re just getting started. Special thx to Jason Blazakis for sharing his latest research w/ us.

Scott Ruskan grew up in Oxford, right here in NJ-07. On his first rescue mission, he helped save 165 lives from catastrophic floods in Texas. This is the kind of selfless service that makes our community—and our country—so special. Thank you, Scott. 🇺🇸 www.nj.com/news/2025/07...

Remy just finished reading the Republican megabill. He’s now questioning the state of American democracy and whether he should run for office.

America is the greatest country in the world. Happy 4th of July to everyone. Had a blast in New Providence last night with Harry Clewell!

You can protest. You can vote. But violence has no place in our country. See my full statement above.

This week has been marked by hatred & fear, but I’m ending it feeling hopeful & energized by folks coming together to fight for a future our kids deserve. It’s time to continue showing up for each other, our communities, and our values. (And shoutout to my mom for showing up for her grandkids too)

Just saw @mikiesherrill.bsky.social—our next Governor. When she was elected in 2018, she stood up to Trump and fought for small businesses, families, and communities. Now she’s ready to keep fighting for a better New Jersey. Proud to support her.

Today is voting day-one of my favorite days. We don’t just choose nominees, we uphold the strength of democracy, show why we are the world’s greatest nation, and choose the values our kids will grow up in. I was so excited this morning, I ran through the rain to cast my vote.

DNC Chair Ken Martin showed up in Somerset County this weekend w/ a simple message - the path to winning back the House runs right through this campaign. Ken reminded us that our job doesn’t stop w/ electing Dems - we have to elect strong leaders who know how to deliver for their constituents.

I was grateful to spend Memorial Day w/ the Bernards Township Democratic Committee on Monday. We honored New Jersey families who’ve lost loved ones in service to our country. Their sacrifice calls us to keep striving for a more perfect union - one worthy of their courage, and their love of America.

Tom Kean just voted to advance the largest cuts in Medicaid history, putting over 70,000 of his own constituents at risk. He said he wouldn’t. He lied, and he sold us out to get Trump’s endorsement. We deserve better. Help me hold him accountable. secure.actblue.com/donate/michaelroth2026

Had a great night in Neshanic Station w/ the Somerset County Dems! It was great to hear from union leaders, engineers, environmental consultants, and firefighters who are moving Somerset forward. Always grateful to be working w/ incredible leaders, especially chair Peg Schaffer.

70,000 of Tom Kean’s constituents in NJ-07 rely on Medicaid. But instead of standing up for them, Kean just sold them out for Trump’s endorsement. Now, Overlook Medical Center in Summit is projected to lose $3M in federal funding. We deserve better.

I’ve talked to small biz across NJ7 and have heard this same thing. Small businesses create 2 out of 3 net new jobs. They’re the backbone of our economy. When elected, I will fight to make it easier for them to start, grow and create jobs like I’ve done my entire career

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who’s been in my corner since day one - my sounding board, workout partner, and hug when I need it most. From cheering on my campaign to cheering me up when things get hard, my mom shows up with love, strength, and endless support. Love you, Mom. I’m the luckiest.

I’ve worked with all levels of government - and local government that works is fundamental to everything. Had a great night with the Westfield Dems last night attending the campaign kickoff for Reshma Adwar, who’s running for Town Council in Ward 1.

When I first considered a run for Congress, people told me that if I made the jump, I needed to prepare myself for a lot of unexpected twists. Turns out, they were right.

I’m Michael Roth, and I’m running for Congress in New Jersey’s beautiful 7th district to deliver real results for NJ. m.youtube.com/watch?v=jHLf...

Yesterday, I shared my vision to bring the new American Dream to New Jersey’s 7th Congressional district—one filled with an abundance of opportunity & affordability.

Great to join the Morris Co. Dems in Hackettstown for a packed event w/ @andykimnj.bsky.social. Big thanks to the volunteers for a great event & their work fighting for NJ Feeling inspired by Senator Kim’s reminder that government is good when it is filled with good people. We can do this together

Happy Earth Day! Today we celebrate our beautiful state and recognize the work ahead to protect our environment. NJ has the most superfund sites in the US—areas contaminated by hazardous waste. We need to clean them up to protect our environment for our kids' futures AND bring new jobs into NJ.

I’m blown away by the support we’ve seen in just 24 hours. This response is a loud and clear signal that people are ready for new leadership—and we’re ready to deliver it. Yesterday was just the beginning. Can you help us build on our momentum? secure.actblue.com/donate/roth-...
