Terri Reese for Congress
@terrireeseforcd-2.bsky.social
No more being ignored. Progressive Democrat. Running for Congress in NJ-2 to represent all of us—with truth, integrity, and commitment to our communities.
Some have relied on incomplete information to spread false impressions about me. I’ve been labeled ‘just a yoga teacher’ or ‘just a retail manager,’ but being a certified yoga instructor shows my commitment to learning, balancing responsibilities, and earning extra money. (1/3)

Yep
Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Not only all elected officials, but political appointees and anyone who has access to what is legitimately insider information, in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

I just read the newly released 2025 National Security Strategy.

America needs a people-centered foreign policy rooted in justice, solidarity, and human dignity, not bullying or profit for the few.

This is where I stand and why it matters:

Jeff Van Drew is suddenly talking about health care, but it is too little, too late. In NJ-02, nearly 182,000 people rely on Medicaid while Republicans keep attacking the ACA. South Jersey deserves leaders who put people before donors.

Jeff Van Drew is suddenly talking about health care, but it is too little, too late, and too transparent. In NJ-02, nearly 181,900 of our neighbors rely on Medicaid (NJ Family Care), and thousands more depend on the ACA subsidies that Republicans keep trying to dismantle. (1/4)

And why we need to choose candidates who are not backed by the machine, who aren’t funded by special interests and millionaires, and who actually want to move this country forward instead of keeping us on the hamster wheel of insanity. It’s time for a BIG change. Out with the old, in with the new.
The default posture of the Democrats to the GOP is the “fever will break.” That’s been their stance for over 40 years, meanwhile the fucking patient (America) is almost dead.

Not only do I support a Supreme Court expansion, I also believe in term limits, and robust ethics laws that are actually enforced.
Supporting Supreme Court expansion is pretty close to a litmus test for me for a 2028 Democratic candidate.

I sat down with InformTheVoteNJ for one of the most in-depth interviews of my campaign so far. We covered transparency, tax fairness, Social Security, the cost of living, and what real accountability should look like. youtu.be/bxjZuBiISiM?... via @YouTube

Disabled veterans are being charged thousands by “claims consultants” for help the VA provides for free, even hit with bills 5× their benefit.

That’s exploitation.

When I’m elected, I’ll fight to ban these predatory practices and protect our veterans.

A new bill aims to strip the State Comptroller of key investigative powers while giving more authority to the SCI, claiming to fight “fraud, waste, and abuse” (we've heard that before, right??), but actually weakening oversight.

Visited NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum for "Christmas at the Hangar"! Hands-on exhibits, interactive STEM programs, and year-round events make it a place for families to learn, explore, and connect with our aviation and military heritage. #NASWildwood #SouthJersey #STEM #FamilyFun

Happy Thanksgiving!

Agreed!
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

And why I signed the Candidate Integrity Pledge with the Money Out of Politics Movement. No Super PACs, no special interests, no dark money non-profits. Just a 100% grassroots campaign funded by small dollars donors, and we spend our money within the district.
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The Department of Education’s proposal to strip nursing, public health, social work, physical therapy, OT, and PA programs from “professional degree” status is an insult to the people who hold our healthcare system together. (1/5)
