Candidate for Assembly

Lisa Bhimani

District 25

A medical doctor and OB/GYN, Lisa has dedicated her career to providing patients with quality healthcare and fighting to keep care affordable for everyone. She practiced at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ and earned the nickname “Spitfire” for her quick response time and wit.

Her career was suddenly cut short when a battle with Lyme Disease left her recovering in a wheelchair and on a ventilator. As a patient herself, she faced the challenges of our healthcare system first hand--rising premiums, poor coverage, and costly prescription drugs--and learned all too well that too many families are just one healthcare emergency away from disaster. 

Lisa knows that the road to recovery is never easy, for a patient or for a state. With a slumping economy, crumbling infrastructure, and the highest property taxes in the nation, New Jersey desperately needs new leaders who can set aside politics and get things done. In the Assembly she’ll use her expertise as a doctor to put science ahead of partisanship and fight for common-sense, fact-based solutions to the problems we face.

Today, Lisa lives in Mendham with her husband, Anish, and their kids, Nick and Bella.
