Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 12th district since 2015, has recently shared her views on social media regarding significant political issues. Her statements have drawn attention to topics such as discrimination and prison reform.
On January 21, 2025, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman addressed concerns about an executive order reversal by former President Trump. She stated, "President Trump’s racism is raging. He reversed an executive order signed by LBJ in 1965 that protected workers from discrimination based on skin color or gender." She emphasized the importance of maintaining rights secured nearly six decades ago.
The following day, on January 22, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman expressed her opposition to a proposed bill concerning private prisons. She declared her intent to vote against it, explaining, "I'm voting NO on the GOP's private prison handout bill." She criticized the bill for potentially incarcerating individuals who are merely accused of crimes rather than convicted and suggested that its primary purpose might be financial gain through mass incarceration.
