Lisa Mandelblatt is an American lawyer and educator based in New Jersey running as a Democrat for Congress in New Jersey's 7th congressional district.[4][5][6][7][8] According to several sources, her campaign raised $258,600 in two months,[9][10][11][12] and in October 2017 is leading the democratic contenders in terms of campaign cash.[13] She is a teacher and community activist and former criminal defense lawyer.[1][14][7] In terms of her positions, she advocates maintaining state and local and property tax deductions in the federal tax code,[15] as well as common sense gun control legislation.[16] She marched in protest against Donald Trump at the 2017 Women's March in Washington, D.C.[17] In DailyKos, she criticized Trump's voter fraud commission as an attempt at voter suppression.[18] According to ABC News, Mandelblatt was inspired to run for Congress while participating in the 2017 Women's March along with Lacey Rzeszowski.[19][20][21]
The way to keep Trump in check is to have members of Congress who are willing to stand up to him ... I believe that the foundation of our democracy is at stake. We need answers, we need to know whether there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The only way to do that is through an independent investigation.
— Lisa Mandelblatt in The Observer[4]
