A lifelong advocate for South Jersey, Jeff Van Drew is delivering results for veterans, seniors, consumers and children.
On November 3rd, 2020, constituents in New Jerseys Second Congressional District elected Jeff Van Drew to represent them in the United States House of Representatives for his second term. He was sworn in on January 3rd, 2021.
Before getting elected to Congress, Congressman Van Drew previously served four terms in the New Jersey State Senate. He has earned a reputation as a strong advocate for southern New Jersey municipalities, but especially for veterans, senior citizens and consumers. He demonstrates a willingness to work on a bipartisan basis, addressing issues of vital concern to the residents of his district. Congressman Van Drew recently retired from dentistry after 30 years of practice in South Jersey. He and his wife have two children and two grandchildren, and reside in Dennis Township.
As a longtime advocate for consumer protections, Representative Van Drew strongly supports net neutrality. The attacks on net neutrality directly drive up costs for consumers, shortchange innovation, and limit our freedom. Net Neutrality protections require internet service providers to give their subscribers equal access to every website, saving consumers money; now that is has been repealed, Internet Service Providers have been given license to charge separate outlandish rates for basic services that Americans use daily. This is unacceptable, and Rep. Van Drew will fight to restore net neutrality, and a free and open internet, for generations to come. That is why he voted in support of the Save the Internet Act to restore net neutrality provisions.
