Former Navy Helicopter & test pilot. Business leader. Mom of two. Running for Congress in NJ-07 to fight for New Jersey families.
Severe storms are moving across our district today, with damaging winds, flash flooding, and large hail possible. Never drive through flooded streets. Keep your phone charged and stay away from downed power lines. Check on elderly neighbors and anyone living alone. Stay safe, New Jersey.
Had a fantastic time talking with folks at this evening’s belated 4th of July fireworks celebration in Bridgewater!
Child care is a crisis in this country. I have a plan to cap child care costs at 7% of any family’s income because New Jerseyans shouldn’t have to hand over our entire paychecks to make sure that our kids are safe and cared for.
I want our kids to be safe online, and I know how, as a parent, it can feel impossible to do just that. In Congress, I’ll fight to pass meaningful legislation to protect our children. Read more about my plan: rebeccafornj07.substack.com/p/the-intern...
In Congress, I’ll fight to ban all members of Congress from trading individual stocks.
Tom Kean Jr. is a poster child for the failed culture of Washington corruption. He's still trading stocks despite his promise to put all of his assets into a blind trust. l've divested all of my individual stocks because there should never be a question about who I am running to serve.
Decisions like these from Pete Hegseth aren’t just wrong; they make our fighting forces weaker. Hegseth is a disgrace to the office he holds, and he’s failing every member of our armed forces by failing to promote the best and brightest leaders in our military.
I like to think of my story as one of the American Dream. But right now, that dream feels out of reach for too many New Jerseyans. I’m running so my kids, and yours, have those same opportunities to succeed.
My leadership was honed in the military, where we were there as Americans to get the job done. That’s what you do — you figure out how to solve problems with the team and people you have. We desperately need that mindset in Washington.
I’m proud to earn the endorsement of the @nrdcactionfund.org. Together, we’ll fight to bring your tax dollars home to protect towns from flooding, replace lead service lines, and get harmful forever chemicals out of drinking water.
I was the Navy’s 18th woman test pilot, but it was never about me — it was about solving problems that would keep our servicemembers safe. I’ll bring that same attitude to Congress by taking on the biggest challenges to make life better for my kids and yours.
We are living through a cost-of-living crisis in this country. I feel it every time I fill up my 2010 Honda Accord. But politicians in Washington are more worried about lining their own pockets than about how much we’re paying every day. I’m running to fix that.
I got into this fight to defend our country, but I knew from the start it would take a team. And I know we’re up for the challenge. Join me and help us flip this seat in November: mobilize.us/rebeccabennettforcongress
In every exercise we did in the Navy, we prepared for the Iranian government to shut the Strait of Hormuz. There was no reason that Trump and Hegseth shouldn’t have been prepared.
Tom Kean Jr. is a career politician who went to Washington to do whatever his party told him to do. We deserve better.
Had a great time at Mt. Olive’s annual summer carnival last night with Democratic Committee Chair Andy Meissner!
I’m running so my daughters, and all of our kids, can see what’s possible in this country. Thanks to A Mighty Girl for the kind words. www.facebook.com/share/p/18rv...
I call myself a patriot because I love this country. And when you love something, you fight for it.
I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support behind this campaign. This race is about who will actually fight for the people of New Jersey’s 7th District.
We deserve a Representative who stops at nothing to fix our biggest problems, like funding the Gateway Tunnel. That’s why I’m running.
I’m proud to have the endorsement of the AFT New Jersey. My daughters go to public school. Every day, I see what their teachers pour into their classrooms. I know firsthand what these educators mean to our kids and our communities.
We’re building a movement. Join our campaign today and help us flip this critical seat: mobilize.us/rebeccabennettforcongress
Had a wonderful time in Bernardsville celebrating the 4th!
Happy 250th birthday, America! 🇺🇸 For 250 years, ordinary people have built a better future by showing up and doing the work. Now it’s our turn—to leave behind a country our kids can be proud of. Let’s get after it.
I’m a patriot. I love this country. It’s why I joined the military, and it’s why I’m running for Congress. To me, patriotism means fighting to make sure every kid has a fair shot at the American Dream, just like I did. That if you work hard, you can build the life you want.
True love is bringing glitter into your house to make slime with your kids
I'm grateful to earn the endorsement of the LCV Action Fund! The League has spent decades holding polluters accountable and fighting for the clean air and water our families deserve.
