TRENTON, N.J. – Tax reform activist and attorney Rosemary Becchi took her first formal step towards a likely 2020 candidacy in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District on Wednesday, launching a formal exploratory committee parked online at rosemarybecchi.com.
“Today, I will begin exploring a potential run for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District to bring new leadership and new ideas to Washington rather than sending back the same people who keep failing us,” explained Becchi in a letter posted on her website. “We need leaders who actually want to do something, not be something in Washington. For that reason I will begin to test the waters.”

Becchi is also leader of the new tax reform organization Jersey First.
If she ultimately launches a campaign, Becchi will face off against state Senate GOP Leader Tom Kean Jr. and Tom Phillips of Scotch Plains in a Republican primary in June 2020.
