"Tahesha Way has proven she has what it takes to fight for Morris County families," said former Morris County Democratic Chairman William Kersey. “She's the only candidate who has taken on Donald Trump in court and won. At a time when Trump is attacking our families' healthcare, rights, and opportunities, Morris County needs a fighter in Congress who will champion our families and stand up for what’s right – and that's exactly who Tahesha is."

"I'm honored to have Chairman Kersey's support and grateful for his years of leadership in Morris County," said Tahesha Way. "Throughout my career, I've delivered for New Jersey families – balancing budgets as a county commissioner and defending our rights as Secretary of State when Trump tried to undermine them. Now, Morris County families need a champion in Congress who will fight for them and deliver real results – and I'm ready to be that fighter."

Tahesha has spent her career fighting for New Jersey families. As a county commissioner, she kept costs down by reining in tax increases and balancing the budget while still expanding services for vulnerable residents. As Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor, she has led the fight for voting rights and working families – pushing back against Trump's attacks on voting access, expanding early voting and automatic voter registration, and championing key legislation to lower utility costs, expand mental health services, strengthen tenant protections, and support small businesses across New Jersey.

Tahesha Way is a mother, lawyer, lifelong public servant, and New Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State. Raised in a working-class union household by an MTA bus driver and a rail clerk, she learned early the values of hard work, community, and speaking up for others. After surviving a life-threatening cerebral brain hemorrhage in college, she re-taught herself how to read when her health insurance refused to cover the therapy she needed.

Tahesha has served as an Administrative Law Judge and as a Passaic County Commissioner and Board of Commissioners Director, where she expanded youth justice reform, food access, and educational opportunities while balancing the budget without raising taxes. As Secretary of State, she led major voting-rights expansions and stood up to the Trump Administration’s attempts to undermine New Jerseyans’ rights. As Lieutenant Governor, she has championed affordability, mental health services, small business growth, and protections for families across the state.

Tahesha is running for Congress to protect access to health care, address rising costs, and fight for the hardworking New Jersey families who deserve a voice and a champion in Washington. She lives in Wayne with her husband, Charles, and their four daughters.
