Campaign websiteWay's campaign website stated the following:Lowering Costs for New Jersey FamiliesTahesha knows firsthand how hard it can be for families to make ends meet. As Passaic County Commissioner and Board Director, she expanded services without raising taxes, allowing families to stay in North Jersey – she’ll do the same in Congress, lowering costs by cutting junk fees and increasing the cap on SALT deductions.Making Healthcare Accessible and AffordableLiving with a preexisting condition, Tahesha understands just how important it is that we protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act. As North Jersey’s voice in Washington, she’ll defend the programs our seniors rely on, slash prescription drug costs, and make sure women have access to reproductive healthcare.Protecting our Democracy from Donald TrumpAs Secretary of State, Tahesha led New Jersey through one of the most consequential fights for voting rights in modern history, standing up to Donald Trump’s attempts to seize personal data and restrict voting access. In Washington, she will continue to protect our democracy and fundamental right to free and fair elections.— Tahesha Way's campaign website (February 5, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
