NEW MILFORD, NJ — Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) joined the Darren Drake Foundation and the Drake family at New Milford High School for a special memorial flag-raising ceremony to commemorate the life of Darren Drake and highlight Gottheimer’s bipartisan Darren Drake Act, which was signed into law to help combat lone-wolf terror attacks.
Watch Gottheimer’s full remarks here.
“It’s hard to believe that it’s been nine years since New Milford and the Drakes lost Darren. A blink of an eye. Yet, as we promised then, we would always honor Darren’s memory. This community has never forgotten,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “The Darren Drake Act has become an essential tool in our arsenal to eradicate terrorist threats in our country. And, it exists because of Jimmy and Barbara – and Darren.”
Gottheimer’s bipartisan Darren Drake Act, signed into law in December 2022, helps stop terrorists from easily acquiring trucks and other vehicles to use as weapons in attacks. Working closely with vehicle rental companies and in consultation with federal, state, and local law enforcement, the legislation requires the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to take concrete steps to stop known terrorists from renting vehicles.
On October 31, 2017, Darren was murdered in a terrorist attack while on a New York City bike path, where he was deliberately run down by an ISIS sympathizer in a rented pickup truck. The Darren Drake Foundation was created to honor his legacy and pursue the ideals and vision he was so passionate about.
Gottheimer was joined by Mayor Michael Putrino, Councilman Matthew Seymour, and Councilman Arthur Zeilner.

PALISADES PARK, NJ — Today, Thursday, October 29, 2026, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) highlighted that he clawed back $250,000 in new federal funding from Washington for Palisades Park first responders, helping upgrade emergency communications, expand counterterrorism training, and strengthen public safety while delivering real tax relief for local families.
“Keeping our families safe shouldn’t mean raising their property taxes,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “That’s why I clawed back $250,000 in federal Homeland Security funding for Palisades Park’s first responders to upgrade emergency communications and expand counterterrorism training. I’ll keep fighting to bring our tax dollars home from Washington to support our police, fire, and EMS, and to lower the burden on local taxpayers.”
Watch Gottheimer’s full remarks here.
By clawing back federal dollars to North Jersey communities and first responders, Gottheimer is helping lift high costs off local budgets, reducing the burden on Passaic County taxpayers to pay for essential public safety equipment and helping lower property taxes for local families.
This investment builds on Gottheimer’s years-long work to claw more federal dollars back to North Jersey from Washington. This year alone, he has secured roughly $21 million in Homeland Security grant funding across Bergen, Passaic, and Sussex Counties for law enforcement, first responders, and the houses of worship and nonprofits that need protection.
Since 2017, he has clawed back more than $17 million in COPS grants for police departments across the Fifth District, including $2.9 million for upgraded first responder radio systems in West Milford in 2023 and $750,000 for new officers in West Milford in 2024. Since coming to Congress, Gottheimer has helped increase the return of federal funds to the Fifth District by more than 357%, delivering an average savings of about $750 for each household in the Fifth District.

Holy Name is New Jersey's only independent Catholic health system. In 2023, Holy Name received $3.8 million in federal funding secured by Congressman Gottheimer to launch a new GME program. The program officially opened in 2025, welcoming its inaugural class of resident physicians. They are helping to train the next generation of physicians to address New Jersey's nursing shortage.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, returned from a congressional delegation (CODEL) to the Republic of Djibouti. There, he met with the U.S. Ambassador, military leaders, and U.S. service members stationed at Camp Lemonnier, including service members from New Jersey. He received briefings on America’s national security priorities in the region, with a focus on combating the threat posed by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
“Our service members in Djibouti are on the front lines, keeping terrorists from threatening the American homeland and our allies,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “I was proud to meet with the men and women who serve there, including those from New Jersey, and to thank them for their extraordinary sacrifice for our country. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have attacked commercial ships and threatened global trade, and we must keep the pressure on them. America’s presence in this region is essential to fighting terrorists, safeguarding trade routes, and keeping America safe.”
Djibouti is home to Camp Lemonnier, the largest U.S. military base in Africa and the headquarters of Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), part of U.S. Africa Command. Established in 2002 after the September 11 attacks, CJTF-HOA’s U.S. service members work to build partner nation capacity, promote regional security and stability, dissuade conflict, and protect U.S. interests across East Africa.
Djibouti sits beside the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a chokepoint for a significant share of global trade. With Iran-backed Houthi attacks threatening commercial vessels in the Red Sea, Gottheimer stressed the need to protect freedom of navigation and keep supply chains and prices stable for Jersey Families. He also received briefings on counterterrorism operations across East Africa.
Gottheimer also raised serious concerns about the growing military and economic footprint of the Chinese Communist Party, which operates an overseas military base in Djibouti, and emphasized that the United States must stay engaged and offer a strong alternative to Beijing’s coercion. Gottheimer also received briefings on counterterrorism operations across East Africa.

RELEASE: Ahead of Early Voting, Gottheimer Announces Actions to Protect Election Integrity
Position: Congressman Gottheimer announces federal actions intended to protect poll workers, ballot drop boxes, and the peaceful transfer of power ahead of early voting, and states that elections must be shielded from interference.
Above: Gottheimer announces his Election Integrity Strategy.
FORT LEE, NJ – Today, Friday, October 23, 2026, Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) announced the next steps in his Election Integrity Strategy: bipartisan federal actions to protect poll workers, ballot drop boxes, and the peaceful transfer of power, with early voting set to begin in New Jersey tomorrow, October 24.
“The most sacred right our Constitution affords us is the right to vote. Early voting starts in New Jersey tomorrow. We cannot allow anyone or anything — at home or from abroad — to interfere with our elections. I’m announcing new federal actions to protect our poll workers, our ballot boxes, and our elections,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5).
Watch Gottheimer’s full remarks here.
Gottheimer's Election Integrity Strategy includes three actions:
Gottheimer, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Co-Chairman of the 9/11 Commission Review Task Force, witnessed the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol from the House Chamber. In 2022, working with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, he led the House effort to pass the bipartisan, bicameral Electoral Count Reform Act, which is now law and closed the loopholes extremists tried to use to subvert the 2020 election.
“Protecting the integrity of our elections is essential to maintaining the public's trust in our democratic process. Every American deserves to know that their vote will be counted and protected from interference. Those who intentionally destroy ballots or damage ballot boxes must be held accountable. I'm proud to once again join Congressman Gottheimer in introducing this bipartisan legislation to safeguard our elections and ensure every lawful vote is counted,” said Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis.
Nationally, 38 percent of local election officials report experiencing threats, harassment, or abuse for doing their jobs, and about one in six said they had faced threats of violence. The Justice Department's Election Threats Task Force reviewed more than 2,000 reports of threats and, by fall 2024, had charged just 20 people. In 2024, ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington State were set on fire, and the ballots inside were burned.
Last November, bomb threats forced polling places in Paterson, Ewing, and Bergen County to close temporarily, with additional threats at locations in Ocean, Monmouth, Essex, and Middlesex counties. Voters were redirected, officials later determined there was no credible threat, and a juvenile was arrested.
Gottheimer was joined by Senator Gordon Johnson, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, Bergen County Clerk John Hogan, Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, Fort Lee Councilwoman Ila Kasofsky, Co-Executive Director of Amber Reedof AAPI NJ, and Fort Lee Councilmen Peter J. Suh and Harvey Sohmer.

Gottheimer’s remarks as prepared for delivery:
Good afternoon. Thank you for welcoming us here to the Fort Lee Community Center.
I want to thank you all for your important work protecting our election workers, ballot boxes, and our democracy.
The most sacred right our Constitution affords us is the right to vote. That right is core to our democracy, our freedom, and fundamental to how we govern and to the peaceful transfer of power.
It’s also a reminder, that in the United States of America, the power is with the people. It’s a gift that many countries don’t afford. Thomas Jefferson wrote that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed." Voting is how we give that consent. It's a chance for every American to have their voice heard, and to hold our leaders accountable. It’s why Lincoln rightly declared that “the ballot is stronger than the bullet.” In short, the right to vote at the polling booth right here or at the ballot box. It's a huge privilege – and an enormous responsibility.
That's exactly why we are here today.
Early voting starts in New Jersey tomorrow. We cannot allow anyone – or anything – at home or from abroad – to interfere with our elections. Today, I'm announcing new federal actions to protect our poll workers, our ballot boxes, and our elections.
Let me start with the poll workers who, beginning with early voting tomorrow, will help ensure we have free and fair elections. Thousands of poll workers here in New Jersey and across America are about to take on that critical responsibility of overseeing the voting process in the 2026 election.
Unfortunately, if the past is prologue, many of them will face unprecedented threats just for doing the job. We saw it right here in our own state last November. Emailed bomb threats forced polling places in northern and central New Jersey to close temporarily, in Paterson, in Ewing, and even here in Bergen County — along with threats at locations in Ocean, Monmouth, Essex, and Middlesex counties. Voters were redirected. Officials later determined there was no credible threat, and a juvenile was arrested. The disruption was real, and so was the fear. We cannot allow that to happen again.
According to the Brennan Center, thirty-eight percent of local election officials report experiencing threats, harassment, or abuse for doing their jobs. In their latest survey, about one in six said they'd faced threats of violence.
When threats come, accountability too often doesn't. The Justice Department's Election Threats Task Force reviewed more than two thousand reports of threats. By fall 2024, it had charged just twenty people. That's absurd.
It should come as no surprise that experienced poll workers are quitting, and fewer people are willing to sign up. We are losing the very people who make our elections work, at the moment their work matters most.
Our poll workers and election officials are patriots. They serve not a particular party, but their fellow citizens and country, and they're protecting the right to vote – and I’m taking steps today to protect them. The voices of Americans should echo in polling places, not the voices of bullies and extremists.
But, given online chatter, direct words from the President and his team, and what’s happened in recent elections, far too many Americans have lost faith in our system.
Many tell me that they lie awake at night worried that ICE or others from the Administration will interfere with the upcoming elections, or attempt, after the fact, to undermine the election results, including refusing to seat duly elected members of Congress.
It is imperative that Congress take every step to help restore our faith in the elections. As a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Co-Chairman of the 9/11 Commission Review Task Force, I understand what is at stake when the public trust is undermined. I witnessed it first-hand on January 6, 2021, in the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives.
I was in the House Chamber, and saw, with my own eyes, holding a gas mask, lawless thugs from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, including some from our own state, breach the United States Capitol. These insurrectionists used American flagpoles to beat police officers.
But, that night, after the chaos, we went back to work. We refused to let the insurrectionists thwart the will of the American people. Democrats and Republicans, together, finished the job and certified the election. I stood on the House floor next to my friend Tom Reed, then a Republican Congressman from New York and, at the time, my co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus. He crossed the aisle to stand with us.
That evening, I told the House: "Today, a group of lawless thugs sought to upend the Constitution and the peaceful transition of power because they didn't like the outcome of the Presidential election." But their attempt to obstruct democracy failed. "Their insurrection was foiled."
Election denialism not only undermines our democracy; it also leads to the threats and violence we are talking about today. We cannot, and will not, tolerate election denialism or unrest. And no one should fear for their safety just for making sure ballots are counted fairly.
As I said, the threats don't only come from a mob. There are threats coming from the current Administration to intimidate voters at polling locations. We will not let them. Our foreign adversaries are also working overtime, using AI, social media, and other online tools to try to undermine our elections. We will take every action to stop them. Ensuring secure, accessible, and reliable elections is fundamental to our national security and to the health of our democracy.
That's why I'm proud to announce the next steps in my Election Integrity Strategy: to protect the right to vote, to protect election and poll workers, and to protect the very fabric of our democratic system from threats at home and abroad.
First, I'm reintroducing, with Congressman Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, the bipartisan Election Worker and Polling Place Protection Act. It will expand protections for election workers and polling locations against threats of violence and harassment.
It protects volunteers, the people who supply and maintain election equipment, and the family members of election officials.
It covers threats against property, not just people. And, it makes it a federal crime to intentionally damage a polling place or a tabulation center.
It’s crystal clear: harassing, intimidating, or threatening an election official in a general or primary election is a crime, punishable by up to six months in jail or a $2,500 fine.
Second, I'm introducing my bipartisan Ballot Box Protection Act with Rep. Nicole Malliotakis from New York, which will make it explicit: damaging or destroying a ballot drop box is a federal crime.
Because it has happened. In 2024, in Oregon and Washington State, lawless thugs set fire to ballot drop boxes and burned the ballots voters had dropped in those boxes. One official called it a "direct attack on democracy." That's directly interfering with the right to vote.
In Bergen County, we have more than 35 of these ballot drop boxes. These are key to voting – especially given the President’s threats to the postal system and vote by mail. The disgusting attempts to burn ballots and erase the votes of countless citizens are un-American, and anyone who tries to interfere with our elections should be severely punished.
We need this legislation so there is legal ground to quickly prosecute, in federal court, those who commit these anti-American, anti-democratic acts. If you burn a ballot drop box, you will face a $20,000 fine for each ballot you burn and up to 20 years in prison. So, to the lawless thugs who are considering interfering with our democracy: don't even think about it.
Third, and finally, I'm leading a bipartisan letter with Congressman Bacon to ensure the continued peaceful transition of power, and to put every one of us on the record.
This is work I've been doing for years. In 2022, with Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, working closely with the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, I led in the House the bipartisan, bicameral Electoral Count Reform Act. It is now the law of the land. It closed the loopholes extremists tried to use to subvert the 2020 election and to pressure the Vice President to undermine the election. There never should have been a question that a Vice President, or a slate of "fake electors," could commandeer an election. Now, because of that law, the Vice President is purely ceremonial – he or she has no power in the election process.
In 2024, Congressman Bacon and I led the bipartisan Unity Commitment, signed by thirty-four Members of Congress, to respect the outcome of the presidential election, regardless of how it landed.
Now we're doing it again for 2026. Seventeen of us have signed so far, Republicans and Democrats. In this letter, Members of Congress promise to safeguard the integrity of the House of Representatives, honor the votes of the citizens, and protect the 2026 congressional elections.
We pledge to defend the state certification process, including legitimate contestation within a state according to law, from outside interference. We pledge to recognize the winners each state certifies under its own law. We pledge to support the right of every state's certified winners to be added to the House Clerk's roll on the first day of the new Congress in January, as federal law requires. And, we pledge to oppose any attempt to refuse or delay the seating of a Member-elect who presents a validly issued election certificate. We've urged, and will continue to urge, all of our colleagues to join us.
Now more than ever, with domestic and foreign interference and threats to our democracy, it is critical that Americans are able to fully participate in our electoral process. Especially after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, we in Congress must protect the right to vote and ensure every citizen can participate. Voting is the bedrock of our democracy, and protecting that right is why Congress initially passed the Help America Vote Act, or HAVA: to strengthen election systems, ensure access for every eligible voter, and invest in states like New Jersey to increase election access, resources, security, and integrity.
I’ve pushed to increase that funding to New Jersey, so that all counties have what they need – from polling locations to machines — to make exercising the right to vote, for those qualified, as easy as possible.
Protecting the vote also means making it possible to vote. Red or blue, win or lose, if you're eligible to cast a ballot, we should make it as easy as possible, not put up barriers.
That's why I've been a big supporter of early voting and of extending the window to vote. It gives working families, seniors, and folks juggling jobs and kids a real chance to make their voices heard.
It's why I support voting by mail, and why I won't let anyone mess with the Post Office to slow it down – and why I spoke out vociferously when the Administration directed the Postmaster General to interfere with vote-by-mail ballots.
It’s why we shouldn't throw up new roadblocks, like requiring a passport just to register. Eligible Americans who have voted their whole lives shouldn't be turned away because they've never owned one.
It’s why I believe we should ensure voting literature and information at voting locations is multilingual.
It’s why I’ve supported secure mobile voting, so that more voters can participate in our elections.
It’s why, as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I’ve been focused for months, leading up to November, on election security and holding the administration’s feet to the fire. We cannot allow foreign governments or actors, whether that’s from Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran, to interfere with our elections.
Free and fair means two things: every eligible voter can cast a ballot, and every ballot cast is counted securely. We can, and we must, do both.
Our founders understood what was at stake. As he left the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government they had given us. His answer: "A republic, if you can keep it."
Those leaders fought to protect our flag and our vote. We can't let anyone intimidate us out of that inheritance. Not on our watch.
Without democracy, we would not have a country. So, again, I want to thank our courageous election workers who keep showing up, despite the efforts of those cowardly enough to try to intimidate them.
And I want to thank those who protect our ballots at drop boxes and at voting stations. We must always get their backs and show up for them, so they can work without fear as they uphold our voting process. That's the strength of America and of our values.
With the legislation I'm announcing today, we're taking a stand so that every voter can cast their ballot without fear, and every election worker can serve without threats. Because the right to vote is sacred, and it is our duty to defend it. There should be nothing partisan about this.
As a reminder, go to NJ.gov/vote to find your polling location. Early voting runs between 10 am and 8 pm on every day except Sunday, when the polls close at 6 pm.
In the greatest country in the world, when we put country over party, and fight to protect our election workers, our elections, and our democracy, I know that our best days will always be ahead of us.
May God bless you, your families, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

RELEASE: Gottheimer Introduces Bipartisan “Stop the Doxx Act” to Protect Law Enforcement Officers and Their Families
Position: Congressman Gottheimer introduces bipartisan legislation to establish federal penalties for doxxing law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges, and their families, characterizing such actions as targeted intimidation and threats rather than legitimate accountability measures.
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Co-Chair of the bipartisan Law Enforcement Caucus, officially introduced the bipartisan Stop the Doxx Act, legislation to protect law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges, and their families from doxxing campaigns that expose them to online harassment, intimidation, and violence.
The legislation is co-led by Representatives Don Bacon (R-NE), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Laura Gillen (D-NY), and Mike Lawler (R-NY). The bill is co-sponsored by Representatives Don Davis (D-NC), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and John Rutherford (R-FL).
The legislation is endorsed by the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, and the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association.
The bipartisan Stop the Doxx Act would:
“You can’t protect our communities if you can’t protect the people who sacrifice so much for us,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “Doxxing isn’t harmless online behavior. It is targeted intimidation against the people who keep our families safe, and the law has simply not kept up with the threat. We must always get the backs of those who risk their lives every day to protect us, and that means making sure they and their families are safe both on the job and at home.”
“Those who protect our communities and uphold the rule of law deserve protection from threats, intimidation, and violence,” said Congressman Don Bacon (NE-2). “The Stop the Doxx Act makes clear that weaponizing personal information against law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, or their families is unacceptable and must carry real consequences. With threats and intimidation against these public servants continuing to rise, this legislation is needed now. I look forward to working with Rep. Gottheimer to get this bipartisan legislation signed into law.”
“The doxxing of law enforcement officers is not about transparency and accountability in policing. It is about intimidation and threats of violence, and those who perpetrate these malicious acts must be held accountable. NAPO strongly believes our nation’s law enforcement officers, who put their lives on the line to safeguard our communities, deserve the protections created by the Stop the Doxx Act. We thank Congressmen Gottheimer and Bacon for their efforts to establish federal penalties for publicly revealing private, personally identifiable information of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers with the intent to threaten, harass, or threaten violence,” said Bill Johnson, Executive Director of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO).
“The New Jersey State PBA applauds Congressman Gottheimer for proposing legislation to criminalize the doxxing of law enforcement officers. Intentionally releasing a law enforcement officer’s address for the purpose of threatening or murdering them is a heinous violation of the peace,” said Peter Andreyev, State President of New Jersey’s Policemen’s Benevolent Associations. “This is National Police Week where we remember and celebrate the lives, service, and bravery of the thousands of law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty since our nation’s founding. Congressman Gottheimer’s proposal is a common sense approach to prevent more names from being added to the Memorial Wall in Washington.”
“The STFA leadership thanks Congressman Gottheimer for his constant guardianship of our members and all of the men and women who serve on the front lines protecting our communities. The crime of doxxing presents a new intricate and technological threat to our law enforcement officers and their families and we applaud Congressman Gottheimer for addressing this threat head on,” said Wayne Blanchard, President of the State Troopers Fraternal Association. “This bill will hold those accountable who commit these cowardly threats on troopers and officers by doxxing with stiff criminal penalties, while providing training for law enforcement officers to keep themselves safe from these threats along with strong jurisdictional oversight of this issue.”
“Protecting those who protect our communities is a fundamental responsibility of our legal system. Congressman Gottheimer’s leadership in making the doxxing of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges a federal crime is a critical step toward ensuring that those on the front lines of justice can do their jobs without fear of targeted violence or intimidation against themselves and their families,” said Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella. “A national training program to help public servants understand their rights and protect their personal information online would be both practical and proactive. By establishing strict federal penalties and providing vital training resources, this initiative reinforces the shield that guards our public servants in an increasingly digital world.”
Doxxing is a growing threat to Americans across the country. More than 11.7 million American adults have been doxxed, including law enforcement officers whose home addresses, family photos, and personal information have been spread online alongside threats of violence. Yet today, only nineteen states have anti-doxxing protections for public officials.
New Jersey knows this threat first-hand. In 2020, the state enacted Daniel's Law following the tragic murder of the son of a federal judge at her home, carried out by an individual who found her address online.
Congressman Gottheimer continues to lead bipartisan efforts to support law enforcement officers nationwide, including the Invest to Protect Act, the Protect and Serve Act, and the HELPER Act to expand homeownership opportunities for first responders.

RELEASE: Gottheimer Praises Anthropic for Taking Action After Addressing His Concerns
Position: Congressman Gottheimer praised Anthropic for modifying its Project Glasswing program to allow participating organizations to share information about cyber vulnerabilities identified through the program, and called on all AI platforms to adopt similar carve-outs to NDAs that restrict responsible information sharing about urgent cyber threats.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Co-Chair of the House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy, applauded Anthropic for taking action to address concerns raised about "Project Glasswing" and the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that had prevented participating organizations from sharing information about critical cyber vulnerabilities identified through the program.
Following Gottheimer’s letter calling on Anthropic to change course, Anthropic announced carve-outs to the program that will allow organizations to responsibly share information about urgent cyber threats with trusted partners and relevant stakeholders. Gottheimer called on all platforms to follow suit.
"I'm glad that Anthropic has done the right thing here and made these critical changes," said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). "Responsible information sharing is a cornerstone of cybersecurity. No entity should be contractually restricted from warning others, coordinating mitigations, or informing relevant and trusted stakeholders about urgent cyber risks — and Anthropic stepped up."
"I encourage all other platforms to quickly follow suit," Gottheimer continued. "As AI systems become more advanced, we need strong safeguards and rapid information sharing to protect against cyber threats and keep Americans safe."
Gottheimer had previously called on Anthropic to nullify the portions of its NDA that prohibited responsible sharing of cyber vulnerability information with trusted organizations, and urged all frontier AI developers — including OpenAI and others operating similar programs — to ensure organizations can share critical cyber risk information with trusted industry partners and government agencies.
Find the full letter here and below:
Project Glasswing is an important step toward securing critical physical and digital infrastructure
from the cyber risks posed by your frontier AI model, Mythos. It is essential that any frontier AI
model developer building these systems acts with the utmost caution when credible
vulnerabilities are identified. My understanding is that you decided to limit Project Glasswing to
approximately forty companies, which, of course, excluded many organizations — small,
medium, and large — in a cross section of industries with vulnerabilities.
It has also come to my attention that Anthropic required the limited organizations allowed to
participate in Project Glasswing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that prevents any
information sharing with other organizations about critical cyber vulnerabilities they identified
Given the serious risk models including Mythos pose to critical systems, I urge Anthropic to
nullify that part of its NDA and immediately allow the companies participating in Project
Glasswing to share their findings with other trusted industry partners. Doing so will help ensure
that as many entities as possible are protected against these types of cyber threats. I’m sure that
you would agree that they would all benefit from the learnings of those that have access to
Mythos to help protect their organizations from the vulnerabilities it can expose. All
foundational model developers should do everything they can to prevent malicious exploitation
and ensure that this information is shared responsibly and used to strengthen defenses.
No entity should be contractually restricted from warning others, coordinating mitigations, or
informing relevant and trusted stakeholders about urgent cyber risks. For example, a large utility
or hospital that has access to Mythos should be able to let smaller organizations in their industry
relying on similar software systems know what vulnerabilities Mythos exposed, so that they can
secure their systems, too. Of course, there should be an appropriate vetting process, but the
NDA should not be a bottleneck to these organizations being able to share with other known,
Responsible information sharing is a cornerstone of cybersecurity — one organization’s data on an attack can help others detect the same tactic earlier, reduce damage, and respond faster. As frontier AI models gain increasing cyber capabilities, the need for rapid and protected information sharing about potential vulnerabilities becomes more urgent. Any insights on the vulnerabilities that Mythos found in one company’s system can help a significant number of others that may never get access to it, or don’t have the resources to, either technologically or financially, to utilize it.
I also urge all of the leading platforms to adopt the same approach, including OpenAI for entities
involved in its Trusted Access for Cyber program. If trusted organizations participating in that
program identify serious vulnerabilities, exploit paths, or misuse risks, they must be free to share
that information responsibly, so threats can be contained before they are used by malicious
actors. No company operating at the frontier of AI should use contractual restrictions to impede
disclosure of critical cyber risk information, including, of course, with the Department of
Homeland Security and the Intelligence Community.
I look forward to your response and to continuing to work with you on this critical national
Sincerely, Josh Gottheimer Member of Congress
