Meet Steve Pylypchuk & Marisa Sweeney
Leaders Who Get Things Done

Steve Pylypchuk

Steve Pylypchuk is a civil engineer, Morristown Councilman, and longtime community advocate with nearly a decade of public service experience. As a Zoning Board Chairman and Environmental Commissioner, he fought for affordable housing, sustainable development, and policies that put working families first.

Steve has spent his career rebuilding New Jersey’s roads, bridges, and transit systems, leading major infrastructure projects like the JFK and LaGuardia Airport renovations and the Route 35 reconstruction after Superstorm Sandy. He knows firsthand that infrastructure isn’t just about construction, it’s about helping people get home to their families, making streets safer, and ensuring our communities are built to last.

As a father and working professional, Steve understands the challenges families face; rising costs, broken transit, housing insecurity, and the struggle to balance work and childcare. He’s running for State Assembly to deliver real solutions, not just political soundbites. From fixing NJ Transit and expanding affordable housing to protecting reproductive rights and supporting working parents, Steve is ready to fight for a stronger, fairer, and more connected LD25.

Marisa Sweeney

Dr. Marisa Sweeney is a small business owner, public health advocate, and community leader committed to expanding healthcare access, strengthening local economies, and supporting working families across New Jersey.

Headquartered in Morristown and serving clients nationwide, Be Well partners with leading medical institutions to improve patient outcomes and expand access to comprehensive healthcare.

She launched the Morristown Mayors’ Wellness Campaign, served as President of the New Jersey Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and currently serves on both the Morristown Planning Board and the Board of Directors of Grow It Green Morristown. She is also the co-founder of the New Jersey VegFest, one of the country’s largest plant-based food festivals, which has helped grow hundreds of small businesses and promote sustainable food systems.

She believes that healthcare is a human right and that public policy should serve families, not just special interests. Marisa has long championed reproductive freedom, accessible care, and strong local economies rooted in health and opportunity.

Now, she’s running for State Assembly to bring that fight to Trenton and ensure every New Jerseyan has the care, housing, and future they deserve.
