Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 12th district, has been active on social media addressing various issues. She has expressed concerns about financial transparency and government funding for critical research, while also engaging with her constituents through a virtual town hall.

On February 10, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman raised questions regarding financial disclosures. "We'd like to take a look at all the corruption that's taking place but you won't release his financial disclosure. What are you hiding?"

The following day, February 11, 2025, she criticized former President Donald Trump for attempting to cut cancer research funding. She acknowledged the efforts of those who opposed these cuts and highlighted the role of the New Jersey Office of Attorney General in ensuring that essential research could continue. "Trump tried to cut cancer research funding to cover the cost of tax cuts for his billionaire donors and big corporations. Thanks to all of you who spoke out, and the quick action by @NewJerseyOAG, critical research into treating and preventing deadly diseases can continue."

Later that day, Rep. Watson Coleman invited her constituents from New Jersey's 12th District to join a Tele-Town Hall scheduled for February 12 at 6:30 pm EST. The event was intended as a platform for discussing concerns voiced by constituents over recent weeks. "NJ-12 Constituents, please join my Tele-Town Hall TOMORROW, February 12 at 6:30 pm EST. We'll discuss many of the concerns you all have voiced these past few weeks."
