📰 News we're reading
• Gottheimer hosts Hispanic Heritage Month roundtable with North Jersey community leaders (wrnjradio.com) — Rep. Josh Gottheimer recently convened Hispanic and Latino community leaders in Bergenfield to discuss health care access, housing costs, safety, immigration concerns, and education barriers. Because his 5th District also covers parts of Sussex County, these conversations could influence how he approaches similar challenges facing Sussex residents, especially around affordability and culturally competent services.
