Congressman Albio Sires, along with the House of Representatives, returned to Washington D.C. this week to vote on critical legislation to help support the people of the 8th District.

Last week, I joined in mourning and remembering the victims of 9/11, including over 700 New Jerseyans, on the 19th anniversary of the attacks. It is a deeply personal day for me, as it is for all of us who live across the Hudson, but I am continually reminded of the resilience our communities have shown since. In this time of reflection, we can honor those who lost their lives by consistently demonstrating mutual respect and support for each other.

Congressman Albio Sires joined Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and Hudson County Executive Thomas DeGise in announcing an additional $7 Million in CARES Act funding for small businesses in Jersey City.
