WHY I'M RUNNING
We’re going to flip a seat from red to blue and bring real representation back to New Jersey families.
I’m running for Congress in the Skylands to protect women’s rights, ensure safer communities with common-sense gun laws, and fight for fairness and dignity for all.

MEET BETH
Dr. Beth Ellen Adubato is a professor of Criminal Justice at Saint Peter’s University, a Fulbright Scholar, and holds a Ph.D. in Public Affairs and Politics. Her research—especially her dissertation on professional football and domestic violence, later published as a book—has influenced both academia and public discourse.
She’s the author of Grammar for Grownups, Life’s a Mother, and Crime in TV, the News, and Film, and has contributed to journals, government reports, and national conferences, including a keynote for the U.S. Department of Justice on Title IX protections.
Beyond academia, Beth founded and leads the LINDA Organization, supporting women affected by domestic violence, incarceration, and homelessness. She has also championed labor rights, serving four terms as Vice President of the adjunct faculty union at Rutgers University.
Before teaching, Beth worked in journalism as a news and sports anchor, notably becoming the first woman to anchor sports in Birmingham, Alabama, and later reporting for Metro TV, Court TV, and News 12 NJ. She’s appeared on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Cupid, and The Following, and contributed to gender-focused documentaries.
A Montclair native raised in West Orange, Beth proudly represents her Jersey roots. Her father, Richie, coached in the NBA and WNBA; her daughter, Allegra, is an actor and fitness trainer. Beth also teaches dance, sings with the SPU Chorale, and remains a devoted Mets fan.
My passion for government began as a teenager volunteering on campaigns. I’ve always believed public service is the best way to make a real difference in people’s lives. Over the years, I’ve seen how inequality, injustice, and broken systems fail too many New Jersey families.
After last November’s election, I realized something simple but powerful: our district isn’t being represented as it should be. That’s when I knew it was time to step forward—to put people above politics and bring fairness and energy back to Congress. "

I will always support legislation that creates equality, dignity, and respect for the people of New Jersey and for people everywhere. Lawmakers have a responsibility to create policies that improve the lives of ordinary people, not their corporate donors.
I am not running for my own gain; I am running to serve. That means protecting the rights of women, families, seniors, workers, and future generations.
