About

Lisa McCormick is a mother & small business owner who understands the challenges facing working families in today’s economy. She knows the impact of unfair trade policies, broken political systems, legalized bribery & the ugly manifestations of inequality in our society because she has witnessed them.

Owning a home, raising a child and meeting a payroll would be enough for many people but Lisa has also been a progressive activist, fighting for justice, advocating smart & honest policies, like breaking up big banks, stopping corporate tax dodgers, Medicare for all and expanding free public education.

Most importantly, Lisa McCormick will work to eliminate the corrupt influence of dirty money in politics with an affordable system of fair & clean elections. Eliminating political payoffs is the only way to put on a public agenda items such as state-funded child care, paid family leave, universal health insurance, free tuition at public colleges and universities.

A lifelong New Jersey resident, Lisa McCormick is the publisher of a weekly newspaper and community news website.

Before she acquired her own business, Lisa McCormick worked with some of the nation’s most prestigious companies, including Schering Plough, Seton Hall, Unz & Co., Hewlett Packard, Chanel, Fortis, and EDS.  She also worked for the president of Dataflex Corporation and served as an administrative operations manager at a local investment clearing firm. McCormick studied Industrial Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology and earned a certificate in office administration from Cittone Institute.

The measure of human character is not how many times you get knocked down. What counts is whether you get back up. Lisa McCormick suffered some terrible injuries, but she is someone who has conquered adversity.

After a 2008 auto collision caused her to have disk replacement surgery in 2010, two-and-a-half years later Lisa McCormick endured a second accident in which she fractured two vertebrae, also known as the backbone or spine.  Today, she remains on the mend but vigorously pursues a healthy regimen of yoga, ice skating, horseback riding and other physical exercise.

This suggests that Lisa McCormick may be someone with transformational political talent, the tenacity to forge ahead despite overwhelming opposition in pursuit of an almost universally desired goal, the restoration of democratic equality in America.
