Maureen Rowan is an American Democratic Party politician who has represented the 2nd Legislative District in the New Jersey General Assembly since taking office in January 2026.
Elective Office
[edit]She was first elected in 2025, defeating incumbent Claire Swift.[1] A retired attorney living in Atlantic City, she serves alongside Don Guardian, a Republican, making the district just one of three in the state with both Democratic and Republican assembly members.[2]
The 2nd District, which includes most of Atlantic County, has a strong Democratic edge in party affiliation.[3] Her victory made her one of four Democratic challengers to unseat a Republican incumbent in 2025 and the third woman (and first female Democrat) to ever represent the district in the New Jersey Legislature.[1]
