Member of the committee, and Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) wants to act aggressively to solve the problems of surging gas prices, expensive food costs, and fight inflation. Also, United Airlines says they are cutting dozens of flights in the Northeast due to staffing issues.
