On January 7, 2023, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Co-Chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, was sworn into his fourth term to represent New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District. Gottheimer took his oath-of-office today on the House floor. 

“As part of my oath I took, I swore to support and defend the Constitution — a responsibility I endeavor to uphold every hour of every day. At its core, it’s about protecting our fundamental freedoms: from speech to religion, to safeguarding our democracy and the values we all hold dear,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “I also swore to defend us against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to protect our state and community, and to fight for the people I represent. In the 118th Congress, and as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, I will continue to fight for North Jersey families, veterans, seniors, first responders, small businesses, and all our communities. I will continue to fight to lower taxes and health care costs, keep our air and water clean, fix our roads and bridges, solve problems, and get things done.”
