Rep. Josh Gottheimer is in his first term in Washington.
A New Jersey congressman who previously wrote speeches for the Clinton White House will be delivering an address at this year's Warren County Community College commencement.
"It's a great opportunity for us to showcase our college to the new face in our district," WCCC President Will Austin said in a recent news release announcing Rep. Josh Gottheimer as a featured guest speaker.
Gottheimer, a Democrat, is serving his first year in Congress after defeating Republican incumbent Scott Garrett in November. He represents New Jersey's 5th Congressional District, which includes portions of four counties including Warren.
Garrett tapped to lead agency he wanted to kill
Gottheimer was one of youngest-ever presidential speechwriters, helping to draft two State of the Union addresses and other presentations for President Bill Clinton, according to the biography on his congressional website.
WCCC's commencement is scheduled for May 20. Bakari Lee, chairman of the Association of Community College Trustees, will be the keynote speaker, the college said.
