SOMERVILLE, NJ – Today, Congressman and Army veteran Pat Ryan endorsed Rebecca Bennett, former Navy helicopter pilot, business leader, and mom of two, to take on vulnerable Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th congressional district. Rebecca continues to build momentum and rack up key endorsements: her campaign has already been endorsed by New Politics, VoteVets, Square One Politics, Vote Mama, and Taking the Hill PAC.
“I’m thrilled to endorse Rebecca Bennett’s campaign for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th congressional district because she has shown through her lifetime of service that she will always put her community first and fight to make life better for families,,” Congressman Pat Ryan said. “Next year’s midterm election is going to be one of the most important elections in American history, and the Democrats’ path to a majority will run through districts like this. I know what it takes to win in a tough Congressional district, and Rebecca has it. Her servant leadership and genuine understanding of the challenges families are facing is the type of leadership our country needs right now. Together, we’ll help Democrats flip the House in 2026.”
“Whether it’s fighting corruption or advocating for veterans and servicemembers, Congressman Pat Ryan has been a phenomenal member of Congress,” Rebecca Bennett said. “As a fellow parent of young kids, we’ll work together to fight for real affordability in our communities, advocate for veterans, and bring common sense back to Washington. I’m thrilled to have his endorsement, and I can’t wait to work alongside him and so many other veteran Democratic candidates to flip the House next year.”
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.
