Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a U.S. Congress member representing New Jersey's 12th district since 2015, recently shared her thoughts on various issues through social media posts. The congresswoman has been actively engaging with the community and addressing significant concerns such as environmental protection, governmental priorities, and infrastructure improvements.

On February 21, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman highlighted her participation in the annual NJ Watershed Conference, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding access to clean water and protecting the Delaware River. She stated: "Had the opportunity this morning to meet with folks at the annual NJ Watershed Conference about the importance of defending everyone's right to access safe, clean water and protecting our Delaware River."

In another post from the same day, she criticized former President Trump's proposed budget cuts to HUD programs that assist disaster recovery efforts and prevent fraud. She remarked: "Trump's attempted cuts to HUD are from the units that help people rebuild after disasters (like Superstorm Sandy) and that prevent fraud and waste. It's part of Trump's ongoing effort to make it harder for government to help everyday people."

Later that day, Rep. Watson Coleman expressed concern over commuting inefficiencies affecting Central Jersey residents. She advocated for improvements in transportation infrastructure by stating: "Commuters in Central Jersey deserve to spend their time with their families, not waste it on platforms waiting for transfers."
