New Jersey native Stephanie Schmid is running for New Jersey’s 4th Congressional District. She’s a retired United States Foreign Service Officer, attorney, and human rights advocate.
Stephanie has a strong record of serving her community, protecting those most vulnerable, and solving difficult public policy problems. She’s running to bring new leadership to Congress at a time when we need our leaders to solve pressing challenges and create opportunities for the people of New Jersey.
Stephanie’s career has stretched from private practice to serving her country in the State Department to leading the U.S. Foreign Policy Program for the Center for Reproductive Rights. Stephanie is running for Congress to bring new leadership to the 4th Congressional District — she’s willing to fight for our families, our values, and our communities in Washington.
Stephanie is ready to go to Washington to improve access to, and affordability of, healthcare. She’ll fight to lower prescription drug costs, protect people with pre-existing conditions, and ensure coverage for all.
There’s been a comprehensive effort by this Administration to erase sexual and reproductive health rights, women’s rights, and LGBTQ rights from global discourse. We can no longer cede the United States’ leadership in advancing the full spectrum of human rights protections within the United states, and globally.
New Jerseyans have witnessed first-hand how climate change and extreme weather events can impact our communities. We must address the climate crisis with urgent, bold action to protect our children’s future.
We must address the kitchen table issues effecting working families including lowering the tax burden on the middle class and passing policies to address the rising costs of childcare, access to paid family leave, and funding a strong public education system.
