As a military veteran and a working mom with two kids in public school. I was called to run for Congress after the November election to end the divisiveness and bring folks together.
My name is Rebecca Bennett, and I am ready to roll up my sleeves and deliver for New Jersey’s 7th.

I’m a patriot. I love this country. It’s why I joined the military, and it’s why I’m stepping up now.

Proud to be a Hellcat, part of a group of badass women veterans running across the country to take back the House.
In NJ-07, this fight is personal. My family is feeling the same pressures you are.
I'm running to fight for you like I would fight for my own family.

Affordability isn’t just a talking point to me - it’s my life. We’re living through a cost-of-living crisis, and we need people in Congress who get it and will actually do something about it.

As ACA subsidies expire and premiums rise, Tom Kean Jr. is choosing to stay silent even while his Republican colleagues crossed party lines to force a vote. No fight. No accountability. NJ07 families deserve better

My heart breaks for the victims in Australia and at Brown University. No community should live in fear of gun violence and antisemitism. Safety and freedom go hand in hand — and Congress must act on meaningful gun control legislation to save lives.

I wore this country’s uniform. I understand the stakes when administrations escalate abroad without congressional authority. That’s what we’re seeing in Venezuela right now, and it’s why we need a Congress willing to do its job.

Child care is a crisis in this country.
As a mom of two, we were paying over $3,500 a month for full-time daycare. People cannot afford to pay this.
We need leaders who actually understand what this feels like and how much it is hurting our families.

As a mom of two young kids, I’m horrified by the decision to end the long-standing recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine. This guideline is backed by decades of science and real-world evidence.
Breaking News: A federal vaccine committee voted to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that leads to chronic liver disease in most infected children.
An End to Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns
A federal panel voted on Friday to recommend halting the at-birth shots for all infants, in a step toward Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s goal of upending the nation’s vaccine policy.
