SOMERVILLE, NJ - Today, Patrick Murphy, former Congressman for Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District and 32nd Under Secretary of the U.S. Army, and his Taking The Hill PAC endorsed Rebecca Bennett, former Navy helicopter pilot and Democratic frontrunner to take on vulnerable Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th congressional district. Taking the Hill PAC was founded by Murphy in 2018 to support veterans running for elected office across the country. Rebecca’s campaign has already been endorsed by New Politics, VoteVets, Square One Politics, and Vote Mama.

“As a veteran, I'm running for office to continue serving and fighting for this nation that I love, and that perspective is resonating with people across the political spectrum,” says Rebecca Bennett, Candidate for Congress. “I am where I am because of programs like ROTC and the GI Bill, and I am grateful to have former Congressman Patrick Murphy and Taking the Hill PAC’s support. Veterans are able to bring together broad coalitions and work together to get things done for families, and I’m ready to bring that servant leadership back to Congress.”

“Navy veteran Rebecca Bennett has spent her life serving with honor, and now she’s ready to serve New Jersey in Congress. We’re proud to stand with VoteVets and other patriots in endorsing her as the next Congresswoman from New Jersey,” says former Congressman and Taking The Hill PAC founder Patrick Murphy. “Rebecca will bring battle-tested leadership to fix the broken systems in DC, fight for working families, and tackle the cost of food, gas, housing, and child care."

Rebecca Bennett is a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, officer in the Air National Guard, business leader in healthcare, and mom of two. Rebecca served in the Navy for over a decade as a helicopter pilot and aircraft commander. After serving her country for over fifteen years in the military and making waves in healthcare innovation, Rebecca is running for Congress to build a better future for our community. As a mom to two young girls, Rebecca understands first-hand the challenges of balancing work & family while navigating inflation and the rising cost of living.
