Elections
2014
Little planned to run in the 2014 election for the U.S. House to represent New Jersey's 6th District. Little sought the Republican nomination in the primary, but failed to file for the election.
2012
Little ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent New Jersey's 6th District. She defeated Ernesto Cullari in the June 5 Republican primary and was defeated by Democratic incumbent Frank Pallone Jr. in the November general election.[5][6]
Despite the new shape of New Jersey's 6th Congressional District, this year's race strongly resembled the match-up two years ago between Little and Democratic incumbent Frank Pallone Jr.. In the redistricting, the 6th District was shifted to the east, but maintained its political demographics: the ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans is nearly 3 to 1. Despite tea-party support, Little lost to Pallone by 11 points in 2010.[7]
