Those principles have guided his life and career as an attorney, health-equity advocate, and leader focused on expanding opportunity for families.<h3>Faith &amp; Community</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/21ce26c8-1d03-4e69-a836-e76db371a29c/d649c7d9-f077-4366-a67f-853029b3ddb8/d649c7d9-f077-4366-a67f-853029b3ddb8.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C3024%2C4032&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Service has always been central to Squire’s life. His faith has long guided his belief in justice, compassion, and service to others. At First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, he launched the Health Equity Ministry and helped relaunch the Maternal and Infant Health Ministry to support mothers, seniors, and vulnerable families.Squire’s commitment to service extends well beyond his church. He serves as a Board Trustee and member of the Executive Committee for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey—one of the nation’s leading public research universities—where he helps guide long-term planning, governance, and accountability.He also served on the Board of The Wistar Institute, a nationally recognized biomedical research center and National Cancer Institute–designated organization focused on cancer, vaccines, immunology, and infectious diseases.

They are also engaged in local community life throughout the region.<h3>Why He’s Running</h3>Squire is running for Congress because families across New Jersey’s 12th District are being squeezed—by rising costs, limited access to healthcare, and increasing pressures on everyday life. Through extensive listening and engagement across the district, he has heard directly from neighbors about the challenges they face and the urgent need for leadership that is focused, practical, and grounded in community.Guided by faith, rooted in service, and committed to building healthier and more affordable communities, Squire is stepping forward to deliver results. He is running to ensure that every family in NJ-12 has a fair shot at a strong, stable future—and a representative who understands both the challenges of everyday life and how to turn ideas into action.

Black History Month invites us not only to remember, but to measure ourselves against the courage of those who came before us. This year, as we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., we are reminded that Black history is not static. It is a living call to action.

Jesse Jackson: A Life That Refused to Sit Down

When we talk about affordability, we usually focus on inflation or federal tax rates. But the biggest burdens on families in New Jersey’s 12th District are not always labeled as taxes. They are the hidden costs of everyday life, and they function like a tax on stability and opportunity.

The Hidden Taxes Crushing Working Families

Too many families across New Jersey are working harder than ever and still struggling to afford housing, groceries, childcare, healthcare, and everyday necessities. I believe we need an economy that lowers costs and expands opportunity for working and middle-class families. That means increasing affordable housing, lowering healthcare and prescription drug costs, supporting good-paying jobs, protecting workers’ rights, strengthening small businesses, and expanding workforce training. It also means investing in industries that will drive long-term economic growth, including life sciences, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. Economic growth should not just benefit those at the top. It should create real financial stability, upward mobility, and opportunity for everyone.

Franklin Township Fish Fry Meet & Greet

PENNINGTON, NJ - Americans have been promised “great” healthcare for years, yet too often we encounter a system that is expensive, confusing, and unreliable when we need it most.

What Does “Great” Really Mean? Defining a Healthcare System That Works

Strong, connected communities are the foundation of health, safety, and opportunity. I believe in policies that strengthen social cohesion, support families, and ensure that everyone feels valued and protected. This includes investing in affordable housing, safe transportation, food security, and community-based organizations that serve as trusted anchors in people’s lives. We must also address systemic inequities and barriers that undermine trust and opportunity, while promoting civic engagement and inclusive leadership.

Investing in Housing, Safety and Connected Communities

Access to affordable, high-quality healthcare is essential to individual well-being and economic security. I support moving toward a universal healthcare system that ensures every American has access to affordable, high-quality care. That includes lowering prescription drug costs, protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions, expanding preventive and community-based care, and investing in mental health, maternal health, and chronic disease management. Our healthcare system should focus on keeping people healthy, not just treating illness after it occurs, while ensuring care is accessible regardless of income, race, or geography.

Lowering Healthcare Costs. Expanding Care.

This year, America turns 250 years old.Two hundred and fifty years ago, ordinary people declared that all of us are created equal, that our rights do not come from a king, a corporation, or a billionaire, but from the enduring promise of liberty and self-government.But those words were not self-executing.

A New Democratic Contract with America

TRENTON, NJ — April 9, 2026 — The Squire Servance for Congress campaign announced today that it is pursuing legal action following a decision by Middlesex County Clerk Nancy Pinkin to reject its proposed ballot slogan, “Middlesex County Democrats for Change,” for the 2026 Democratic Primary Election in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.The campaign’s legal filing makes clear that the Clerk’s action was not only unjustified, but unlawful. Under New Jersey election law, congressional candidates file with the Secretary of State, who alone has authority to evaluate and reject congressional ballot slogans. In this case, the Secretary of State did not reject Servance’s slogan. The Middlesex County Clerk nonetheless intervened and attempted to do so, exceeding her statutory authority.“This is not just a disagreement over a slogan. It’s about fairness and whether voters get a real choice,” said Servance. “The law is clear on who has authority here, and it is not the County Clerk.”“I’m running to bring new leadership and real solutions to this district, not to get pulled into the vestiges of county line politics,” Servance continued. “I would much rather be out knocking doors and talking with voters about lowering costs, improving access to healthcare, and creating real economic opportunity. Instead, I’m being forced to deal with a bureaucratic decision that limits voters’ ability to choose change.”The Clerk’s lack of authority alone should end this matter. But even beyond that, the campaign’s filing makes clear there is no basis for the rejection. The law permits a slogan to be denied only if it is so substantially similar to another that voters would be misled into thinking candidates are running together. Servance’s slogan is plainly distinct from “Middlesex County Democratic Organization,” which denotes party-endorsed candidates.The Clerk provided no substantive explanation for the decision, acted after input from a political organization without giving Servance any opportunity to respond, and imposed an accelerated deadline that could leave the campaign without any slogan at all.“This process lacked transparency, fairness, and basic due process,” Servance said. “Voters deserve a fair process, not decisions made behind closed doors.”The filing also highlights that similar slogans have been permitted in other counties and prior elections without any finding of voter confusion. Allowing one group to claim exclusive use of common terms like “Democrats” and a county name would set a troubling precedent and limit candidates’ ability to communicate with voters.To prevent immediate harm, the campaign is seeking expedited court review and temporary relief to ensure that ballots are not printed or distributed without the requested slogan while the case is decided.Servance emphasized that the slogan reflects what he is hearing directly from voters.“We have knocked on thousands of doors and spoken with tens of thousands of voters across this district. The message is consistent. Families are feeling squeezed by rising costs and want leadership focused on results. ‘Democrats for Change’ reflects that reality.”“When a campaign builds real momentum, it means the message is resonating. And right now, voters are ready for change.”“This campaign is about fairness and whether voters have a real choice. I’m going to keep fighting to ensure every voter in this district can hear the message and make their own decision.”&nbsp;Media Contact: Squire Servance for Congress Name: Jermaine James, Campaign ManagerEmail: <a href="mailto:jermaine@squireservance.com">jermaine@squireservance.com</a> Phone: 862-858-0002 Website: <a href="http://squireservance.com">squireservance.com</a>&nbsp;About Squire Servance for Congress Squire Servance is a Democrat running for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.

Servance Challenges Ballot Decision, Citing Unlawful Overreach and Threat to Fair Elections

When Fairness Is Challenged: Fighting Back Against County Line Politics

PENNINGTON - Exploring a run for Congress in the 12th District, Squire Servance gave a somber and thoughtful expression this morning when asked to consider the most severe threat to America posed by President Donald J. Trump and his followers.

Squire Servance and the Quest for Universal Healthcare

This Isn’t Inflation. It’s a System That’s Failing Working Families.

For decades, New Jersey has been known as the “Medicine Chest of the World.” It is a title earned through generations of scientific breakthroughs, pharmaceutical innovation, and lifesaving discoveries.But what many people outside our state do not realize is this: the epicenter of that innovation runs directly through New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.

The Medicine Chest of America Runs Through New Jersey’s 12th District

Every morning in New Jersey, thousands of people don’t just commute to work. They gamble.They gamble on whether the train will show up. Whether it will run on time. Whether a downed wire, signal failure, an aging bridge, or a problem in a tunnel they don’t control will derail their entire day.For too many families in our region, that gamble is becoming routine.

When the Train Doesn’t Come: What NJ Transit Says About Broken Government

A new name has entered the fray in the still-developing Democratic primary to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing): Squire Servance, a patent and life sciences attorney from Mercer County.

The Women Who Shaped My Life And Why I’m Running for Congress

Clean air, safe drinking water, resilient infrastructure, and access to green spaces are not luxuries, they are necessities. I support strong environmental protections, investments in climate resilience, and a transition to clean energy that creates jobs while protecting frontline and overburdened communities. Environmental justice must be central to our policy decisions, ensuring that no community bears a disproportionate share of pollution or climate risk.

Protecting Our Environment for Healthy Communities

Squire Servance, a patent and life sciences attorney who launched an exploratory committee for New Jersey’s 12th congressional district in November, has now officially joined the race, bringing the number of Democrats running to succeed Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing) up to 13.

Squire Servance officially enters NJ-12 race

America cannot drift into another war.War is the most serious decision a nation can make. It sends young Americans into danger, reshapes global stability, and commits our nation’s resources for years, sometimes decades. Decisions of that magnitude should never happen quietly or by default.They should happen only after debate.

America Cannot Drift Into Another War

Every child, regardless of ZIP code, deserves access to high-quality early childhood education, well-resourced public schools, and affordable pathways to higher education and skills training. I support fully funding public education, expanding access to universal pre-K, strengthening special education services, and investing in career and technical education that aligns with the jobs of the future.

Building Opportunity Through Education, Training and Entrepreneurship

America is a nation shaped by immigrants, built through generations of hard work and sacrifice, and marked by both extraordinary opportunity and difficult chapters in our history. First, we must fix and modernize our legal immigration system by reducing backlogs, improving efficiency, strengthening border security, and supporting the families, workers, and businesses that rely on legal immigration. Second, I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes an earned pathway to citizenship for law-abiding undocumented immigrants and protections for Dreamers. Third, we must reform immigration enforcement to focus on violent criminals, human trafficking, fentanyl smuggling, and genuine public safety threats, not indiscriminate raids that separate families and undermine trust in communities. ICE should be drastically reformed to separate civil immigration enforcement from criminal enforcement activities, while operating with accountability, professionalism, and respect for constitutional rights and due process. Our immigration system should reflect both the rule of law and the values of compassion, opportunity, and accountability that define America.

A Fair, Secure, and Humane Immigration Reform Agenda

Servance’s daughters take the lead in first NJ-12 ad

America’s leadership in the world should reflect both our values and our interests. I believe in a foreign policy grounded in diplomacy, strategic strength, human rights, and constitutional accountability. Military force should always be a last resort, and Congress must play a stronger role in overseeing decisions related to war and international engagement. I support strong alliances and America remaining a global leader, but I do not believe the United States should write blank checks to any country. When there are serious concerns about violations of international law or the protection of civilian lives, any support we provide should be conditioned and subject to meaningful accountability.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESquire Servance Launches Exploratory Committee for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional DistrictPennington, NJ — November 25, 2025 — Squire Servance, a New Jersey–born attorney, health-equity advocate, and community leader, announced today the formation of an Exploratory Committee to consider a campaign for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District.Servance, who was born and raised in New Jersey and has spent his career working across law, healthcare, and innovation, said the exploratory effort will focus on listening to residents across the district and understanding the challenges facing working families — from rising costs to barriers in healthcare, housing, and aging infrastructure.“I believe in a New Jersey where every family can afford to stay and thrive,” Servance said. “Where healthcare is accessible, seniors are protected, small businesses can grow, good jobs are created, and our children have real opportunities ahead of them. Over the coming weeks, I look forward to listening to neighbors, faith and community leaders, and families across NJ-12 as I consider the best way to serve.”Throughout his career, Servance has worked at the intersection of healthcare and innovation, experience he says has shown him how policy decisions directly shape affordability, access, and opportunity for families. He is also deeply involved in community service, launching the Health Equity Ministry at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens and helping relaunch its Maternal and Infant Health Ministry, focused on supporting mothers, seniors, and vulnerable families. Additionally, he serves as a Trustee of Rutgers University and as a member of the University’s Executive Committee, where he helps guide long-term planning, governance, and accountability for one of the nation’s leading public research institutions.Servance says the exploratory phase will emphasize community voice, transparency, and solutions that strengthen “healthy, affordable, thriving communities.”“Families are being priced out of the communities they love. Seniors are worried about healthcare and rising costs. Small businesses are working hard but too often feel unsupported,” Servance said. “As our district turns the page, we need leadership that continues showing up for families and builds on the strong foundation Congresswoman Watson Coleman laid.”The Exploratory Committee will begin outreach immediately, including community conversations, listening sessions, and opportunities for residents to share the issues that matter most to them.Residents can learn more or share their priorities at: <a href="http://www.squireservance.com">www.squireservance.com</a>
