Speaker Coughlin Statement on the Retirement of Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman 


“Bonnie Watson Coleman has served the people of New Jersey well. From her nearly two decades in the General Assembly to her time served in Congress, she’s been a fierce advocate for working families, social justice, and the communities that too often were left without a seat at the table. She led by example – making history as the first woman of color to represent New Jersey in Congress. That milestone was only the continuation of a career defined by opening doors for others. “New Jersey, and our nation, are better off today because of her service. While she may not be seeking reelection, her legacy will surely guide and inspire the work we all do and believe in for generations to come. It has been an honor to serve alongside her, and I wish her all the best in the days ahead.”
