2018 U.S. House campaign[edit]
Weber announced she was running as a Democrat for Congress in New Jersey's 7th congressional district on MSNBC on Mother's Day 2017,[1][4][3][7] and in 2017 raised $318,000.[8][9] She is a senior banking executive at IDB Bank,[10][11][12][13] who has been credited for building some of the first online banking platforms.[2][3][14] She was endorsed by Galit Kierkut, past President of the New Jersey Women Lawyers Association, who said Weber had raised millions of dollars for cancer patients and research as the five-time chair of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Northern Union County.[3]
