SOMERVILLE, NJ — Tonight, Rebecca Bennett showed New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District exactly what leadership looks like. Rebecca Bennett spoke with clarity and conviction and made the case for a representative who will show up, listen to the people of this district, and stand up for New Jersey families.

“For the first time, voters had the opportunity to see Rebecca Bennett and Tom Kean Jr. side by side on the debate stage, and the contrast could not have been clearer. Bennett won tonight’s debate by focusing on the issues that matter most to families across NJ-7: affordability, healthcare, infrastructure, accountability, and making sure New Jersey gets its fair share from Washington,” said NJ Democratic State Committee Chairman LeRoy J. Jones Jr. 

“As a former Navy helicopter pilot, healthcare leader, and mother, Bennett brings the experience and perspective needed to meet this moment. Rebecca represents a new generation of leadership — grounded in service. Tom Kean Jr. is a career politician who continues to put his loyalty to Trump over his oath to the people of New Jersey. He has blindly supported the president’s disastrous tariff regime and war with Iran that drive up costs, and our residents are left paying the price. New Jersey deserves a fighter in this district, and that’s Rebecca Bennett.

“While Tom Kean Jr. has refused to agree to another debate, the NJDSC is proud to see that Rebecca Bennett will continue meeting with voters across NJ-7, exemplifying the representation the district deserves.”
