For nearly two years, I have been saying something was wrong with South Jersey's electric bills. We held hearings, pushed Atlantic City Electric (ACE) for answers, and when the numbers still did not add up, I called for a federal audit.

We finally have some answers. The audit found five areas where ACE failed to comply with federal financial rules, including overcharges involving transmission costs. While those charges occur at the transmission level, those costs are ultimately passed down to families and businesses through their electric bills. It is not a coincidence that everyone's bills went up double or triple while the overcharging was occurring.

That is why I am demanding ACE determine exactly how ratepayers were affected and refund every dollar they are owed. I am also once again calling on the entire New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to resign after years of approving higher rates while these problems went undetected.

South Jersey families have been through enough. Now is the time for refunds and lower rates.

I am proud to announce more than $6.4 million in new federal investments for two important projects here in South Jersey. This comes on top of the hundreds of millions of dollars we have already brought back to the district over the past year.

More than $2.4 million will help expand Salem Community College's nursing training facility in Penns Grove, supporting the creation of an estimated 250 jobs and expanding opportunities for South Jersey students to enter the nursing profession.

Another $4 million will go toward rebuilding more than four blocks of the Wildwood Boardwalk. The boardwalk is a huge part of Wildwood's economy and identity, and this investment will help support local businesses and keep Wildwood strong for years to come.

These are two very different projects, but both are investments in South Jersey's future. I am proud to keep bringing our federal tax dollars back home where they belong.

Believe it or not, New Jersey recently discovered that approximately 6,600 people who identified themselves as noncitizens were registered to vote, and nearly 400 went on to cast ballots.

Think about that. These individuals actually told the state they were not citizens and somehow ended up on the voter rolls anyway. I led 18 of my Republican colleagues in asking Governor Sherrill some pretty basic questions: How did this happen? Why did the safeguards fail? And how do we know there are not more?

Instead of simply answering us, the Governor sent back a letter filled with political attacks against President Trump, my colleagues, and me.

You really cannot make this stuff up. This should not be a partisan issue. Only American citizens should vote in American elections, and New Jerseyans deserve to know their voter rolls are accurate and secure. I will keep pushing until we get those answers.

This week, I spoke at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing about the consequences of sanctuary policies, including a heartbreaking tragedy that happened right in South Jersey.

A nine-month-old baby in Ocean County was killed after being struck by a driver who the Department of Homeland Security says entered the country illegally, had no driver's license, and had received a final order of removal.

This is exactly why I have been so outspoken against New Jersey's sanctuary policies. When federal immigration laws are ignored and people who should have been removed remain here, innocent families can pay the price. What makes it even harder to accept is that New Jersey is spending millions of taxpayer dollars providing legal assistance to people facing deportation while families are dealing with tragedies like this.

I will keep fighting to end sanctuary policies and put the safety of New Jersey families first.
