In the competitive contest for New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, a battle has erupted over sex education in the classroom. Incumbent Rep. Tom Malinowski was a guest Sunday on “The People’s Guide to Power,” WNYC's midterm election series.
on how the origin of this debate traces back to a presentation at a school board meeting there.)
That's a big problem right now. We have a teacher shortage in New Jersey and all across the country. Recruiting teachers into a situation where politicians are going to accuse them of horrific things like that is even harder. How it all happens tends to be a mystery to all of us, but I've got a very competitive district that's still roughly equally divided between Democrats, Republicans, and independents, and probably the one race in New Jersey that everybody's going to be watching this year. Well, I'm getting them. I'm winning independent voters in the polls. I have Republican elected officials crossing the aisle to endorse me.
I had my retirement savings invested in the stock market when I was elected to Congress, as a lot of people do, by an investment firm that I had no personal involvement in. I have since placed my life savings in a blind trust. I think I'm one of only about five members of Congress that has done that, that has a fully qualified blind trust where I have no idea how my savings are invested.
We're going to try to do that, yes. There is a version of that legislation that combines a lot of good ideas from different bills that will be put before us. And, you know, fingers crossed, will be able in the House at least, to get that done this week.Congressmember, our focus today is the power of parents.
Protecting the environment, fighting climate change for our kids so that they have a planet where they can breathe the air and we can have an economy where America, not our adversaries around the world, are leading the world in the technologies of the future. That's what we've been doing. We've been delivering for New Jersey based on those principles.
