We’re excited to announce that former South Toms River Mayor Gigi Esparza has joined Janine Bauer as the Democratic nominee for Assembly in New Jersey’s 10th Legislative District.
Gigi was chosen by the Ocean County Democratic Committee to replace Debra DiDonato, who is stepping down after deciding to move outside the district. A longtime community leader, Gigi has served as Mayor of South Toms River, a member of the local school board, and an active advocate for families and children through her work in education and faith communities.
Together, Janine and Gigi bring decades of experience in law, local government, and public service. They’re ready to fight for our Shore communities, strengthen schools, and make New Jersey more affordable for working families.
