Robin Brownfield

Party: Green Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography: "My name is Robin Brownfield. I live in Collingswood, NJ, am a former organizer for the United Farm Workers, & an adjunct sociology & labor studies professor at Rutgers & Rowan University, & numerous community colleges. With the American Federation of Teachers, I helped organize several union locals for adjunct professors in colleges & universities in New Jersey. I am running because my morals & values demand it. I'm a mother & grandmother & have lived, worked, & organized in this community for over 30 years. When I look at our options for Congress I feel nothing but dread & disappointment. I chose to run for the Green Party, because their values & priorities are very close to my own. I’m running, not for myself. I’m not interested in getting rich. I won’t take corporate contributions. I won’t be beholden to banks, corporations, or Wall Street. I'm doing this to do whatever I can to make life better for working people who are being exploited by millionaires & billionaires. I want to get money & the profit motive out of politics.  We need Medicare for All, not healthcare for profit. We need to guarantee all people have safe & affordable housing, not criminalize poverty & homelessness to feed private prisons and create exploitable workers. Everyone should be able to have enough money to afford food, transportation, clothing, leisure time, guaranteed paid sick days & vacations, paid parental leave, free childcare, & free education."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

We need an economy that works for working people, not just the wealthy and powerful. To reverse surging inequality and insecurity, we need an Economic Bill of Rights establishing the rights to a living-wage job, guaranteed livable income, housing, healthcare, childcare, lifelong education, secure retirement, utilities, healthy food and clean water, so that all of us are guaranteed the basic security for a good life that can reach our highest potential. We need a government that works for working people, not elite wealthy donors. It’s time to restore and expand workers’ rights; support unions, cooperatives and worker ownership; and ensure that working people enjoy the full fruits of their labor. Housing is a human right.

Single-Payer Healthcare/Healthcare as a Human Right Our healthcare system is in crisis. The United States spends more on healthcare than any other high-income country but has worse health outcomes, including the lowest life expectancy at birth and the highest rate of people with multiple chronic diseases. 25 million people were uninsured in the US in 2023. Many of those who are insured still can’t afford healthcare due to huge out-of-pocket costs. Researchers estimate this lack of adequate healthcare led to over 330,000 excess deaths from Covid-19. The Wall Street parties are funded by the insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and other big healthcare profiteers to perpetuate this failed system that puts profits over people.

We need to change to a national agenda for environmental justice. We’ve spent decades trying to warn our representatives in Washington, D.C. that environmental and energy policies have to change, before we reach a critical point of no return for the environment and climate change. It’s time to bring back a movement for a Green New Deal, creating jobs in areas that will also save the environment.

Robin Brownfield (G)

We need an economy that works for working people, not just the wealthy and powerful.

It’s time to bring back a movement for a Green New Deal, creating jobs in areas that will also save the environment.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Robin Brownfield (G)

Americans cherish ideals of liberty and justice, yet countless millions are still fighting for basic rights. US economic and political systems still have pervasive, systemic discrimination against women, Black and Brown people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and other marginalized groups. The Wall Street parties, funded by economic elites who seek to divide and conquer the people, pay lip service to ideals of justice while perpetuating the structures of systemic injustice. We need to work towards equity and honor the human rights of every individual. It’s time to come together to ensure true justice for all. This extends to US foreign policy as well. I will never vote to enable genocide.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

Nelson Mandela, Tony Benn, Tommy Douglas, Rachel Carson, Ralph Nader. Each stayed/stay consistent and steadfastly focused on achieving positive social change. Mandela endured 26 years in prison, was freed, led the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa, and became the first Black President of that country. Tony Benn was a true friend and leader of labor, who also passionately opposed to war. Tommy Douglas was single-minded in his campaign for free, universal health care in Canada; Rachel Carson sounded the alarm about the dangers of DDT and environmental toxins to life on earth, and Ralph Nader has been crucial in establishing life-saving consumer protection laws. They each represent values I have, and set the course for improving the lives of people and planet.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

I believe in considering all of the variables to understand a situation. I have an extensive and firm grasp of history, especially in terms of labor and social movements, but also in terms of how our government works and doesn't work. As a sociologist, I am trained to see the connections between incidents, events, and social situations, that may lead to social problems, and their potential solutions. I am not motivated by money. Instead, I have always worked to do what's best for the well being of people and community. While I am willing to compromise on some issues, I will never compromise my principles, or stop seeking to make life better for working, middle class, and poor people.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

We need to serve the people typically ignored by elected officials - working, middle-class, poor, disabled, and disenfranchised people, NOT the billionaires, corporations, banks, and military contractors who make up the top 1% of the population. We need to get money and the profit motive out of politics, and we need to increase taxes on billionaires and corporations. We need Medicare for All, not healthcare for profit. We need to guarantee that all people have safe and affordable housing, not criminalize poverty and homelessness to feed private prisons and create exploitable workers. Everyone should be able to have enough money to afford food, transportation, clothing, leisure time, guaranteed paid sick days and vacations, paid parental leave, free childcare, and free education from preschool through college. And we need to take measures to abate climate change and ecological disaster, and create a world where diplomacy and peace take the place of violence and war. None of this is possible if our elected officials are in bed with those that profit from destroying our environment, war, and sickness. Most current elected officials represent them, not us, and have repeatedly shown with no consequences how they enrich themselves with their power instead of advocating for us.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Robin Brownfield (G)

A single-payer healthcare system for all, economic security for all, ensuring people have time in their lives just to enjoy life, their families, pursue interests other than work, and to establish a Green New Deal that would guarantee economic security and stability and helps slow down reverse the devastation being caused by climate change, environmental destruction, and species decline.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

Two actually stand out. The bombing of a church in Birmingham, AL, where four little African American girls were killed. That was my first memory of racist violence. I was almost 6. Two months, I was sent home from school, because President Kennedy was assassinated. At age 6, I started paying attention to events in the country and the world.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

I was a union and community organizer for the United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO for 5 years, from 1974-1978.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Robin Brownfield (G)

Two books. To Kill a Mockingbird, which is about maintaining basic decency in the face of bigotry; and Hocus Pocus, but Kurt Vonnegut, which was a critique of the school - to - prison system in a capitalist system.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Robin Brownfield (G)

Hind's Hall.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Robin Brownfield (G)

I've had to survive economically, financially, despite having physical disabilities that cause me considerable pain. Also, I grew up in a biracial family, and watched as my mother and brother endured racial discrimination and cruelty at the hands of bigots. I was born white, but my brother wasn't, and I could see the emotional pain his short life brought him,in trying to endure racism. As a result, I have no tolerance for bigotry, discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, or any other hatred and discrimination directed at individual or group ascribed statuses.

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

Robin Brownfield (G)

No. Sometimes we need new eyes on policy, and people grounded in the reality of life as non-wealthy individuals, to break through barriers created to benefit the wealthy, and enrich corrupted representatives. It's time to throw out the old ways of doing things, and introduce legislators who actually represent regular people, not the wealthiest 1%.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Robin Brownfield (G)

Anything by George Carlin or Sammy Obeid. I would just butcher any joke I try to repeat.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

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.^[4]
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.^[5]^[6]^[7]

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

Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+10. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 10 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made New Jersey's 1st the 127th most Democratic district nationally.^[8]

2020 presidential election results
