LaMonica R. McIver (born June 20, 1986) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for New Jersey's 10th congressional district since 2024. A member of the Democratic Party, she served on the Newark municipal council from 2018 to 2024. McIver won the September 2024 special election to succeed Donald Payne Jr. in Congress, who died in office in April 2024. On June 10, 2025, McIver was indicted by a grand jury for "forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers", which carries a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison. However, she refutes the charges and has stated that they are political in nature and meant to deter lawmakers from conducting legislative oversight.
