Rebecca Bennett wins New Jersey Democratic primary for key House seat
Rebecca Bennett has won the Democratic primary in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, setting up a November contest against Republican incumbent Tom Kean Jr. The district is one of the most closely watched House races in the state and is being treated as a toss-up by independent analysts. Bennett, a former US Navy helicopter pilot, defeated three Democratic rivals and secured about 47.2% of the vote, according to projected results.
