Lt. Col Dr Barbara McCormick is a dedicated public servant with a deep commitment to her community and country. She aspires to represent the 4th Legislative District in the New Jersey General Assembly in Trenton. A lifelong Republican, Barbara has been an active member of the Washington Township GOP since 2019 and has served as a poll worker since 2020, playing a crucial role in the Board of Elections by counting paper ballots. Barbara's career spans over 30 years in nursing, during which she has taken on various roles in leadership, education, and research. She has an extensive background, including a nurse internship in Washington DC, and is currently employed part-time in the civilian sector. Barbara plans to retire from her military nursing career by the end of 2025 – freeing up time to focus on serving in NJ Assembly.
  • Service is at the core of who I am. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for our South Jersey community as a critical care and emergency nurse — while also serving our country as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, where I earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

    Whether in a trauma bay or on military deployment, I’ve learned that true leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about presence, perseverance, and standing up for those who rely on you.

    Now, I’m ready to carry that same dedication and spirit of service to Trenton
  • I’m a proud Constitutional Conservative, a proud Republican — and even prouder to be a mother, wife, nurse, and veteran. I believe in the power of parental rights, the importance of the Second Amendment, the value of every life, and the strength of the America First movement — from MAGA to MAHA. I stand for accountability, integrity, and policies that put people over politics. I see a brighter future for New Jersey — one where families are supported, freedoms are protected, and common sense leads the way. That’s why I’m stepping up to represent the 4th District and help bring that future to life. We have the energy. We have the vision. And we have what it takes to bring strong, principled leadership back to Trenton.
  • My vision for New Jersey is rooted in common sense, service, and strength. I’m committed to protecting the rights and freedoms that matter most — from defending our Second Amendment and safeguarding parental rights, to standing up for religious freedom and personal medical choice. I’ll fight to ensure our veterans, police, and first responders receive the support they’ve earned, and I’ll work to keep our schools focused on education, not political agendas. I’m ready to put an end to reckless overdevelopment, confront corruption head-on, and stop the policies that have made New Jersey a sanctuary state. It’s time for leadership that puts families, freedom, and our future first.
I’m deeply passionate about public policies that put people first and protect the core values that make our communities strong. That means safeguarding critical funding for the everyday heroes who keep us safe. I believe fiercely in protecting our Second Amendment rights and ensuring parents have a strong voice in their children’s education. I support policies that uphold religious freedom, parental rights, and bodily autonomy. I’m also committed to restoring common sense to local planning by stopping unchecked overdevelopment, rooting out government corruption, and ending New Jersey’s harmful status as a sanctuary state. For me, it’s all about creating a safer, freer, and more accountable New Jersey for the next generation.
The most important characteristics for an elected official are integrity, transparency, and a deep commitment to the people they serve. First, integrity is non-negotiable — it means doing what's right, even when no one is watching. Transparency is key, too. The people deserve to know what’s happening in their government, and that starts with open communication and honest decision-making. A great elected official also has to be approachable and empathetic, always listening to constituents and understanding their concerns. Finally, a strong sense of accountability is essential — taking responsibility for decisions and ensuring that promises are kept. These principles are the foundation of leadership that puts the people first and makes a real difference in our communities.
I believe the qualities that would make me a successful Assemblywoman are my strong sense of integrity, dedication to service, and ability to listen and collaborate. I’ve spent years working directly with people as a nurse and a veteran, which has given me a deep understanding of the needs of our community. I’m committed to being transparent and accountable in everything I do, ensuring that the people’s voice is always heard. I’m also solution-oriented, focused on finding common ground and working with others — regardless of party — to get things done for New Jersey. With a genuine passion for service, a strong work ethic, and a deep commitment to making a positive difference, I am ready to serve with purpose and lead with integrity.
As a member of the New Jersey Assembly, my core responsibilities are clear — and they’re all about serving the people of our great state. First and foremost, I’m here to draft, propose, and vote on legislation that moves New Jersey forward, especially when it comes to matters like state revenue and critical policies. I’ll actively participate in committees to carefully review and improve every bill, ensuring that we pass only the best, most effective laws. But it’s not just about legislation — it’s about connecting with YOU, the people. I’m here to listen, to help, and to make sure your voices are heard in Trenton. Of course, I’ll uphold the highest ethical standards and provide strong oversight to ensure that our state agencies are doing their job right. Together, we can build a New Jersey that works for everyone!
The ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature should be rooted in respect, accountability, and a shared commitment to serving the people of New Jersey. While they may come from different parties or perspectives, both should work together to find common ground, deliver real solutions, and uphold the Constitution. The legislature must act as a check on executive overreach, while the governor should lead with transparency and a willingness to listen. New Jerseyans deserve leadership that puts politics aside and puts the people first — that’s how we move our state forward.
Absolutely, building relationships with other legislators is not only beneficial — it’s essential. In order to create meaningful, lasting change, collaboration is key. New Jersey, like any state, is made up of diverse perspectives and priorities. By working together, legislators can find common ground, build consensus, and pass laws that truly benefit the people. Strong relationships allow for productive discussions and the ability to navigate complex issues with more effective solutions. When legislators come together, they can better serve their constituents and strengthen the foundation of our state government. It’s about putting the people first and working as a team to move New Jersey forward.
