Assemblyman Don Guardian and Assemblywoman Claire Swift are seeking a third term representing Atlantic County in the state Assembly.

GALLOWAY, NJ — In a room filled with cheering supporters, Assemblyman Don Guardian and Assemblywoman Claire Swift announced their campaign for re-election to the Second Legislative District in the New Jersey Assembly Wednesday night.

This would be their third term in office.

“It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of Atlantic County in Trenton,” Guardian said. “Claire and I have been laser focused on our two priorities: affordability and getting Atlantic County what we deserve from Trenton. We want to continue fighting for you and are once again humbly asking for your support.”

“From property tax relief in the ANCHOR program to our award-winning constituent services, Don and I are proud of the accomplishments we’ve made for the hardworking, middle-class families of Atlantic County,” Swift said. “Our bipartisan record in Trenton has delivered results for South Jersey taxpayers with over $260 million from the state directed to projects right here in Atlantic County. Working with Jack Ciattarelli as our next governor, the best is yet to come.”

In 2021, Guardian and Swift had $10 million spent against them, but still managed to flip both Assembly seats red for the first time in a decade. In 2023, Guardian and Swift doubled their margin of victory by earning the support of more than 25,000 Atlantic County voters.

Guardian and Swift enter the 2025 election with over $150,000 cash-on-hand. At their kickoff rally last night, they raised $50,000 toward next year’s re-election effort.
