New Jersey Assembly[]

A resident of Mendham Borough, New Jersey,[2] Dunn ran for assembly in the 2019 Republican primary losing to Tony Bucco and Brian Bergen.[3]

In September 2019, State Senator Anthony R. Bucco died. His son Assemblyman Tony Bucco was appointed to the Senate seat. After his Senate appointment, Bucco's name was still on the ballot for his Assembly seat, and won re-election to the Assembly in the November 2019 general election.[4] Dunn then won a special election convention for Bucco's Assembly seat. She was sworn in on November 25, 2019 serving only until January 14, 2020.[5] However, Dunn was selected in another special convention for that seat on February 1, 2020. She was sworn in again on February 3, 2020.
