A former intern of New Jersey’s lone Republican congressman says that she wants his place in Congress.
Former foreign service officer Stephanie Schmid is among four declared candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to challenge Rep. Chris Smith in 2020.
“I grew up in New Jersey, but I also have relationships in Washington, D.C. I’ve written legislation, I’ve led coalitions pressuring the government for change,” Schmid says. “I think I have the most experience of anybody running.”
