ICYMI: “The State of Play in NJ CD-07” – Independent Voter Pens Column in Insider NJ Outlining Why Rebecca Bennett Earns His Praise


SOMERVILLE, NJ – In a new column for Insider NJ, Andrew Leven – an independent voter and former Republican – details why Rebecca Bennett has earned his praise as she runs to flip New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. 

Leven writes in part: “As a wife and mother of two with a career, she must navigate the same world that we are navigating… There is steel inside Rebecca’s gloves. A former naval aviator and test pilot, she was part of the tip of our military spear for some 10 years, post ROTC… She is worth a long look.”

– I was a lifelong Republican, but no longer am. I am also not a Democrat. I am now an Independent. That is, I am part of the demographic that will decide this election.
