Proud to welcome our next CD-7 Congresswoman, Rebecca Bennett! A little over a week left. Let’s do this, Sussex County!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

SPARTA – Rebecca Bennett scanned the crowd Sunday morning and noted that Tom Kean Jr. has not had a single public event since he took office. She was right about that, and the 60 or so people in the local ambulance squad building certainly agreed. This was another one of Bennett’s “Deckplate L...

Over the summer, Rebecca Bennett challenged Tom Kean Jr. to six debates; one in each county of the district. He could only find time for one. While Tom is missing in action on most days, Rebecca is everywhere and still showing up for us!

This past weekend, Rebecca hosted a Meet & Greet in Sparta to meet directly with voters. She understands that showing up, listening, and answering directly to the people you serve is non-negotiable.

CD-7 is ready for representative leadership! Let's bring this home and secure Rebecca Bennett’s win this November!🇺🇸

A message from Dr. Clare Golden for Sussex County Clerk and Phil DeStefano for Sussex County Commissioner :

“We express our profound disappointment following the repeated failure of our opponents, Chris Carney and Jack DeGroot, to appear at three scheduled candidate debates and public forums. With Election Day fast approaching, we have emphasized that dodging public debates deprives Sussex County voters of the opportunity to hear directly from candidates, compare platforms, and hold prospective leaders accountable on key local issues.

Democracy relies on open dialogue and accountability. When candidates refuse to show up and address the public, it sends a clear message that they do not feel obligated to earn the trust or the votes of Sussex County residents. Missing three separate candidate forums is not just a scheduling oversight, it is unfair and unacceptable to the voters who deserve to know where every candidate stands.

Representing the people of Sussex County requires showing up, listening, and answering tough questions. By skipping three scheduled debates, Chris Carney and Jack DeGroot are turning their backs on basic civic transparency. Voters deserve candidates who respect them enough to stand on a stage, present a vision for our county's future, and answer for their records.

We reaffirm our commitment to full transparency, accessibility, and active engagement with all residents throughout the remainder of the campaign. We remain ready to participate in future debates and public forums to discuss the critical issues facing Sussex County.”

This is unacceptable.

I am disappointed that my opponent Chris Carney has refused to participate in a proposed candidate debate hosted by the League of Women Voters of Sussex Highlands, citing claims of partisanship. Refusing to engage in a nonpartisan public debate is a disservice to the voters of Sussex County. The League of Women Voters has a long-standing, respected history of providing transparent, balanced forums for voters to hear directly from candidates on key issues.

Suggesting that a recognized nonpartisan organization is untrustworthy or overly partisan is simply non-sense, and it undermines the fundamental trust our community relies on during an election. True leadership requires standing before the public, taking questions, and clearly articulating solutions to the issues impacting our residents.

I remain ready and willing to debate, and I encourage voters to demand full transparency from every candidate on the ballot. In the meantime, voters interested in learning more about my platform, may visit the Sussex Highlands League of Women Voters 2026 Voter Guide at https://sussexhighlandsnj.lwv.org/2026-voter-guide.
