As Council President and Central Ward Representative in the City of Newark, LaMonica

has long been a strong advocate for nurses and healthcare workers who are the

foundation of our health care system. With a deep understanding and appreciation of

continue as a member of Congress.

“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of HPAE,” said LaMonica. “I know the

strength of our healthcare system is rooted in the resilience and dedication of its

workers, which is why I will continue to fight for better working conditions, safe staffing

levels, access to mental health resources, and protection from workplace hazards when

I get to Washington. No question, when healthcare workers are supported, they can

provide the best care possible to those in need—creating a stronger healthcare system

for us all,” she concluded.
