Lisa Bennett
for Assembly - LD9
A New Direction for Ocean County
Bringing innovative leadership and effective solutions to Ocean County.
About Lisa Bennett
I am committed to being your voice in the New Jersey State Assembly, representing all residents of Legislative District 9 in Ocean County.
Throughout my career as a paralegal, I have been a dedicated advocate for the people, and I will continue that commitment if elected. Affordability is a top concern for everyone in our community. Seniors are struggling to stay in their homes, and young families find it difficult to buy their first home.
Our legislature must prioritize reducing the cost of living. By providing property tax relief, holding utility companies accountable, and developing solutions for affordable childcare and healthcare, we can make meaningful progress toward these goals.
