Dr. Tina Shah for Congress
@drtinashahnj.bsky.social
ICU doctor. Healthcare leader. Former White House Advisor. Running for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th District. America is in critical condition and enough is enough. Join my team and follow our campaign! drtinashahforcongress.com
I’m horrified at today’s murder by ICE agents in Minneapolis. There is no place on our streets for violent, armed, masked, and untrained agents. Donald Trump, Tom Kean Jr. and their allies in Congress have the power to stop this. It needs to end now.

The leader of the US vaccine advisory board said that vaccines for polio & measles should be optional. These diseases killed kids & adults before the safe and effective vaccines were available. We’ve got to act - and that’s why I’m running for Congress. Join us at drtinashahforcongress.com/volunteer

Today is the 53rd anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision. We’ve got to restore the right to an abortion across the country, and continue fighting to protect reproductive rights.

Trump’s new “healthcare plan” is out - but I did the math. It doesn’t save you any money, it just increases your bill

Congratulations @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on your swearing in today! Looking forward to your leadership of the great state of New Jersey.

"The moral arc of universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

MLK was right - and we can't sit idly by. We've got to bend it towards justice. I hope today serves as a reminder that we must stand up and organize in our communities for a better world.

RFK Jr this month cut out 6 vaccines from the childhood vaccination schedule that are evidence-backed. He also changed our food pyramid, but as part of this is promoting more red meat consumption, which is not good for you. When it comes to our health, we deserve more.

What a week across the district - thank you to HCDC and the Wharton Dems for having me at your meetings and congratulations to the newly sworn in Somerset County Dems! Bringing all these communities (and more!) together is how we’ll flip NJ-07!

Happy national bagel day from the bagel capital of the world (New Jersey, obviously) 🥯🥯🥯

We’re only 13 days into 2026 and we’ve already seen RFK Jr. take 2 major healthcare actions based on his personal opinion, not medical science.

Thanks to @WSJ for highlighting why I and other doctors are stepping up to fight for our patients.

It's no secret that Trump likes to go after his political opponents. Here's another example - threatening the independence of the Fed because the data isn't politically beneficial for him. It's corrupt, it's wrong, and it will hurt our wallets. And Kean Jr. is silent.

Two forums, one weekend! Thanks to Berkeley Heights and Springfield Dem Clubs and all their partners, and Mount Olive Dems and Door to Door Democracy for hosting. Sharing my plans with voters and hearing what CD-7 residents care about most is my favorite part of the campaign!

Huge thanks to the Bernards Dems for hosting a great meet and greet last night.

The most frequently talked about issue? Heathcare. It’s why we need more docs in Congress.

Summit got some awesome new Common Councilmembers earlier this week! I watched Councilmembers Lasaracina, Landman, and Crisafulli get sworn in on Tuesday and joined Chair Greg Vartan and Summit Democrats to celebrate the 2025 wins 🥳 next stop: the 2026 election!

I’m so proud to share that we raised over $1 million in 2025! This is a campaign by and for the people — and I’m confident that we’re heading into 2026 (the year we flip NJ-07!) strong 💪🏾
January 7, 2026 at 4:37 PM
RFK Jr. just axed multiple childhood vaccine recommendations, which have protected our kids for decades. I’m a triple board certified doc with 14 years of medical training. Last I checked, RFK Jr. has 0 years. We need more doctors in Congress.

Today marks 5 years since January 6, 2021, when a violent insurrection tried to overturn a free & fair election and subvert our democracy. Since then, Trump has continued to act like he is above the law and our Constitution.

I won’t stand for it.

Maduro’s a dictator. But kidnapping a sovereign country’s leader and planning to “run Venezuela” sets a terrible precedent and bypasses Congressional authority. Are Kean Jr. and his Republican colleagues going to yet again sit by while Trump ignores their coequal branch of govt? 1/2

Phillipsburg and Warren County Dems, thanks for letting me join and celebrate the swearing in of 4 new dem city councilmembers! You all know how to do it right--grit and pounding the pavement paid off. What a great way to kick off the year - now lets keep flipping seats in 2026!
January 1, 2026 at 11:02 PM
Happy 2026! My New Year's resolution is simple: flip NJ-07 from red to blue. Let's go 👊

ACA premium tax credits expire tomorrow. Tom Kean Jr. is all talk and no walk - when he had the chance he didn’t vote to lower healthcare costs. Next year, we’ll vote him out.

As 2025 wraps up, here’s a recap of my last 6 months crisscrossing the district and talking to so many of our awesome voters, volunteers, and leaders. See you in 2026 to flip this seat!

I’m Tina Shah, an ICU doc running to flip a House seat in New Jersey 👋🏾🩺

I’m here because our healthcare costs are too high, and my Member of Congress is just making it worse.

If you’re as worried about healthcare access as I am, will you chip in today?
