Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing), the first Black woman elected to Congress from New Jersey and a leading light for New Jersey progressives, announced today that she will not seek re-election next year.

“I made this decision with tremendous thought and reflection, and through many personal conversations with my husband Bill and my family,” Watson Coleman said in a lengthy statement. “I am confident it is the right choice for me and my family who have graciously sacrificed by my side when I placed serving our community above all else and I can truly say, I am at peace with my decision."
