I have to admit -- this headline stopped me in my tracks.

No doubt, $125 million is a big number and the majority of it is being spent in Democrat-held districts like ours. That’s more than the amount this dark-money group spent on ads during the entire 2020 cycle -- and it’s just the start of what the group is planning to spend this year. 

So yes, $125 million is a big number -- but it’s not insurmountable.

I know we can defeat big money at the ballot box and bring home a win for New Jerseyans. How do I know? Because we’ve done it before.

In 2018, we flipped NJ-11 for the first time in over 30 years, making the biggest swing from red to blue in the country that year. And in 2020, we overcame a wave of ugly GOP attacks and hundreds of millions of dollars spent against Democrats like me. 

Besides, I’m used to challenges. I joined the Naval Academy at 18 and served as a Navy helicopter pilot for nearly 10 years. (And that’s not even to mention that I’m a mom of four kids!)

We can do this, but we have to put in the work.
