I would like to remedy the current housing crisis and provide more affordable housing for low income families, for veterans, for people with disabilities and for homeless.

Our country has a strong economy and is able to provide free Education from daycare to college. We must invest in our new generations by providing the best education for them. We can accomplish that by making productive changes that will improve education for years, and ensure our country's future success.

We have a right to live in peace and the obligation to create a better future for our upcoming generations. That is why we must cut the military spending as much as possible. With all the money spent on military equipment and wars we can help alleviate all the problems we currently have such as housing, healthcare, education, food insecurity, etc. Besides, the US military is one of the largest climate polluters in the world. We really need to start taking care of our environment to diminish the effects of the climate change.

We all have the right to live in a safe and adequate place where we are protected from the elements of the environment and that provides basic needs while respecting our dignity.

We really need to start taking care of our environment to diminish the effects of the climate change.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Lily Benavides (G)

I could name only one issue that I am passionate about but all the issues are interconnected and we cannot work on one without doing the same with the other. We need to create public policy that give us a solution for the housing crisis like federal rent control and assistance for those who need it most, We need public policy for free education from daycare all the way to college. We need public policy for a healthcare system that benefits us all and not one that leave us in bankruptcy. We need public policy for women's rights, for immigration, for gun control and basically for everything else.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Lily Benavides (G)

Nowadays I believe there are no leaders. I would like to follow the steps of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Harry Tubman, Frederick Douglas, and Nelson Mandela. I admire some friends that are grassroots activists and are working for the people and not for their own interest.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Lily Benavides (G)

Books: Autobiography of La Causa by Cesar Chavez and The Giver by Lois Lowry

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Lily Benavides (G)

The most important principles for an elected official from my point of view are integrity, communication with the constituency and commitment to do the work.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Lily Benavides (G)

I believe that people running to get elected for office should be from the common neighborhood and not from high-end parts of the cities. I am a regular person who hardly lives paycheck to paycheck to pay rent and expenses. That makes people identify themselves with me more, and the fact that I have been an activist for many years. I am a woman of color and many feel represented by me. I pledge to not take money from corporations or Super PACS now or in a future. I consider myself an honest person and with integrity.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Lily Benavides (G)

An elected official creates and support proposals, offer amendments and serve on committees at the same time that defends The Constitution.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Lily Benavides (G)

I would like to be remembered as a person who fought for peace and justice until the last minute of her life (hopefully) to live a better world for our children.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

My first historical event occurred when I was five years old. The new elected president of Colombia, Misael Pastrana came to town and he was on a parade by the main street. We went to my uncle's house to watch him pass by from the window.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Lily Benavides (G)

I would like to be Arwen from The Lord of The Rings because she is a very strong woman who does not fear anything.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Lily Benavides (G)

The US House of Representatives holds the power to impeach a president, to start or finish a war and basically everything needs to be approved by the Congress first. Decisions taken in Congress are more important than an executive order in many cases because they can become a Federal Law that cannot be modified.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Lily Benavides (G)

It could be beneficial to have representatives with previous experiences but at the same time it is good to bring in new people with new and innovative ideas and that can also represent our diverse population. The problem with representatives that have been in service too long is that they are less receptive to new people and might want to perpetuate their seat.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Lily Benavides (G)

The increase on the gap between low income and high income population, the lack of an affordable healthcare system, the failed immigration system, the housing crisis and the climate crisis are all big challenges at this moment and if we don't find a solution soon I can't imagine how it would be in 10 years.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Lily Benavides (G)

I believe that four years would be the right amount of time to be able to finish projects if we take into account that to run again candidates need to dedicate almost a year to campaign.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Lily Benavides (G)

Any public servant should not serve more than four years straight

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Lily Benavides (G)

I admire John Lewis and his tenacity on his fight for social justice which made him one of the most respected members of Congress. Those are big shoes to wear and I don't know if I would ever be able to wear them.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Lily Benavides (G)

During COVID I was a member of a Mutual Aid group and I was taking calls all day from people in need of food and basic stuff. It touched me so much and I identified with them most of the times as a low income immigrant who had to struggle a lot.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Lily Benavides (G)

I'm not good with jokes, I will leave that to my older sister, She can tell jokes for hours.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Lily Benavides (G)

Yes I believe that compromise is necessary when it's for the benefit of the public and not for the pocket of elected officials.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Lily Benavides (G)

One of the priorities on my list is to reduce military spending to the maximum and use those funds for free healthcare, to pay the student debt, and for affordable housing amongst other important needs.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Lily Benavides (G)

The US House should use its investigative powers to find the corruption inside all branches of government and not to spy on people

What committees interest you?

Lily Benavides (G)

Foreign Affairs, Education and Workforce, Small Business and Natural Resources.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Lily Benavides (G)

Financial transparency and accountability are the basic principles in which a government should be based on to be trusted. Government and elected officials should be open to the public and give access to their voting records, their donor's lists, and all their activities related to their position.

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in New Jersey in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 14, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty candidates, including 25 Democrats and 25 Republicans, ran for New Jersey’s 12 U.S. House districts. That’s 4.17 candidates per district, less than the 4.67 candidates per district that ran in 2022 but the same as the 4.17 candidates per district that ran in 2020.

This was the first election to take place after U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi issued a preliminary injunction blocking the use of the county line primary ballot design in the Democratic Primary.

The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s the same as in 2022, when one district was open. There were no open districts in 2020, two in 2018, none in 2016, and three in 2014.

Incumbent Andrew Kim (D-3rd) did not run for re-election to run for the U.S. Senate.

Nine candidates—five Democrats and four Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in New Jersey in 2024.

Sixteen primaries—seven Democratic and nine Republican—were contested in 2024, the most this decade. Fifteen primaries were contested in 2022 and 2020, respectively. There were 12 contested primaries in 2018, 10 contested primaries in 2016, and 12 in 2014.

Seven incumbents—five Democrats and two Republicans—faced primary challengers in 2024. That’s one more than in 2022, when six incumbents faced primary challengers, but less than in 2020, when eight faced primary challengers.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all twelve districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

This made New Jersey's 11th the 161st most Democratic district nationally.
