Bonnie Watson Coleman is serving her sixth term in the United States House of Representatives, the continuation of a career in public service advocating for the needs of New Jersey families and the equitable treatment of all people. The first Black woman to represent New Jersey in Congress, Watson Coleman is a member of the Appropriations Committee and Budget Committee, as the Chair of the Democratic Caucus’s Task Force on Poverty, as a House Democratic Deputy Whip for Policy, and serves as a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s Executive Board.
Watson Coleman’s work in the House centers on her belief that, in the United States of America, there’s a floor below which we should never allow any child, any family, any person to fall. Knowing that millions struggle every day just to make ends meet from the first to the last of the month, her legislative work seeks to bridge the gap for these Americans, making sure that the richest nation in the world doesn’t allow millions to live below the poverty line; doesn’t allow vulnerable groups to suffer the fallout of environmental violations; doesn’t allow profit margins to define the standards or the motivations for incarceration; and doesn’t allow bias to push everyday needs like car insurance out of reach for working families. She’s introduced legislation aimed at solving issues like these, including:
• The Healthy MOM Act, which would allow women to enroll in, or change their health coverage if they become pregnant.
• The End For-Profit Prisons Act, which would prohibit the federal government from contracting with forprofit prison corporations.
• The SAFER Pipelines Act that would reform the gas pipeline approval process overseen by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
• The Workforce Promotion and Access Act, a federal jobs guarantee.
• The Customer Non-Discrimination Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in “public accommodations,” such as schools, recreational facilities, and retail stores.
• The Pursuing Equity in Mental Health Act, legislation to address the disparities in access, care, and study of mental health issues among people of color.
• The Improving Diaper Affordability Act, to make the purchase of diapers tax-free
• The Prohibiting Auto-Insurance Discrimination (PAID) Act, end the use of income, education levels, and other factors unrelated to driving history and ability in setting car insurance rates
• The Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2020, to establish a nationwide pilot program to test the outcomes of a federally funded income support program that keeps more American families from experiencing permanent financial fallout and lasting poverty from a single unexpected crisis.

She was born to George and Catherine Maize and grew up spiritually under her father's leadership and ministry, the Rev. Dr. George W. Maize III. She is married to the Rev. Maurice Daniels, Sr. and they have one child together Maurice Daniels, Jr.
At a young age, Johnsilynn discovered her natural classical singing ability but never realized how special her voice was until she entered college. Upon entering Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Johnsilynn declared Accounting as her major and Music as her minor. Although she had a passion for singing, she felt a deeper calling to use her voice more profoundly. Thus, in her sophomore year, she had an encounter with God, which led her to change her major to Music. During this time, Johnsilynn began to take her music seriously and received vocal training from Ms. Doris Mayes. Her vocal expression encouraged countless people, and her coloratura voice range was admired. Her innate gift from God enabled her to express the love of God through song.
While pursuing a BA in Music Performance, Johnsilynn was awarded music scholarships, sang with many choirs, presented solo concerts, and performed at the Philadelphia Symphony. After graduating from Lincoln University, she received financial support from two Bishops in the A.M.E. Zion Church to further her studies. She returned to pursue a Master's in Music Education from New Jersey City University. During her time there, she was granted a graduate assistantship that fully paid for her degree. Her passion for creating an extraordinary sound through her voice led her to perform in many venues. Johnsilynn realized a portion of her vision when she was awarded the major role of the "First Lady" in the opera "The Magic Flute" and the leading role of "Cunegonde" in
Honorees & Keynote Speaker the opera "Candide." Over the years, she has performed as a guest soloist for many, spreading God's message through song. As long as God equips her, she will continue to lift up the name of Jesus through song.
In addition to her musical accomplishments, Johnsilynn holds a Master's of Social Work from Rutgers University. In 2009, she began pursuing a Master of Divinity from New York Theological Seminary but was unable to complete her coursework due to having her son, Maurice Jr. If it is God's will, Johnsilynn plans to complete this journey. Before attending New York Theological Seminary, in 2005, God called Johnsilynn to preach the Gospel, and she delivered her initial trial sermon.
For Johnsilynn, giftedness is a calling and joy in working with youth. As a Youth Missionary Secretary at Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church, she found her passion, later becoming the Jersey City District Youth Secretary until 2016. In 2019, she ran for Youth Secretary of the A.M.E. Zion Church, and despite not winning, she continues to serve youth in the community.
Throughout her career, Johnsilynn served as a Family Service Specialist for The Division of Child Protection & Permanency for over ten years. After having her first child, she felt led by God to stay home and raise her son. When Maurice entered kindergarten, she returned to school to obtain her Master of Social Work. She graduated and rejoined the workforce as a School Social Worker in 2022. Her motto has always been leading youth and families to define their purpose, decide their path, devise their plan, and determine their future.
Johnsilynn has coordinated annual mission trips for youth, organized back-to-school rallies for underprivileged communities, conducted leadership trainings, partnered with colleges and universities to host annual college fairs and forums, and led adult ministry
