DNC Congratulates Rebecca Bennett on Her Victory in the Democratic Primary for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District Arrow

The DNC congratulates Rebecca Bennett on tonight's victory in the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 7th Congressional District - a toss-up race that will help flip the House of Representatives in November. Democratic voters throughout New Jersey have once again demonstrated that they understand the stakes of this moment. Tonight's victory comes as incumbent Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has been missing from Congress since early March after narrowly winning the seat in 2024.

In response to Rebecca Bennett's victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"Rebecca Bennett is a fighter for working families who will deliver for the people of New Jersey. As a former Navy helicopter pilot, officer in the Air National Guard, and healthcare leader, she has continually served her community and our country. While extremist Tom Kean Jr. is either voting to make life more expensive or missing votes altogether, Rebecca will show up for New Jersey in order to protect healthcare, lower costs, and create good-paying jobs. The DNC is ready to help her flip this seat, take back the House, and make life more affordable."
