As inflation soars, federal lawmakers are looking at different ways to keep down the cost of living and New Jersey’s congressional delegation is taking a leading role.

On Thursday’s episode of Chat Box, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-5th) spoke about the rising cost of everyday items and how he’s working on a number of measures to try to keep prices down.
