“As a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot and mom of two, Rebecca is the exact kind of candidate who can flip this must-win seat for Democrats to retake the House” - Liuba Grechen Shirley, Vote Mama Founder and CEO 

SOMERVILLE, NJ - Today, Vote Mama 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. Vote Mama PAC endorses moms running for office up and down the ballot, and provides direct financial support and coaching for candidates on how to maximize their fundraising. They hold a 70% win rate for moms running for office at every level, from school board to U.S. Senate. Rebecca’s campaign has already been endorsed by New Politics, VoteVets, and Square One Politics.

“I’m not a typical candidate for office - I don’t come from a powerful political circle or a wealthy family, but that’s a strength for us and this campaign.” says Rebecca Bennett, Candidate for Congress. “We need more moms with young kids speaking to the issues families face every day. That’s how we’re going to address issues like paid parental leave, rising grocery prices, astronomical childcare costs, and out-of-reach housing prices. I’m proud to have Vote Mama on my team and look forward to flipping this district with them next year.”

“As a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot and mom of two, Rebecca is the exact kind of candidate who can flip this must-win seat for Democrats to retake the House. New Jersey voters can trust Rebecca to fight for them because she is one of them, having to pay $3,500 a month to put two kids in full-time daycare so she could go to work,” says Liuba Grechen Shirley, Founder and CEO of Vote Mama. “Vote Mama PAC is proud to endorse Rebecca, and we’re excited for her to bring her experience to Congress to fight for the policies working families need.”

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.
