Rep. Frank Pallone, representing New Jersey’s 6th District in the U.S. Congress, has taken to social media to express his views on recent national issues. Serving in Congress since 1988 after a stint in the New Jersey Senate from 1984 to 1988, Pallone has been vocal about economic and public safety matters.

In a post dated April 13, 2025, Pallone commented on former President Donald Trump’s economic policies. He stated, “Trump’s reckless tariffs sent the market into a free fall, forcing him to quickly reverse course. However, his flip-flop does absolutely nothing to reassure consumers and small businesses who rely on certainty and stability in the economy.”

On April 14, 2025, Pallone announced his legislative efforts, “NEWS: I’ve reintroduced the INFANTS Act to require testing for toxic metals and bacteria in baby food. We’ve already seen lead in applesauce and bacteria shut down formula plants. We can’t let Trump’s reckless deregulation agenda put even more babies at risk.” This statement highlights Pallone’s concerns regarding toxic substances in baby food and criticizes regulatory decisions that may pose risks to children’s health.

In a more personal and local sentiment, Pallone expressed relief concerning a safety incident involving a political figure. On April 14, 2025, Pallone tweeted, “Grateful @GovernorShapiro and his family are safe. A firebomb thrown at the home of a Jewish governor just after he hosted a Passover Seder with his family is chilling. Violence has no place in our politics. None.”

Frank Pallone, who was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and was educated at Middlebury College and Rutgers University-Camden, has consistently been involved in public service since the 1980s. He remains a prominent figure in U.S. Congress, focusing on a range of issues from economic policies to public health and safety.
