NJ-09: Pou may face GOP challenge from wife of former NFL star [View all]

Tiffany Glenn Burress, an attorney and the wife of ex-New York Giants star Plaxico Burress, is emerging as a potential candidate against Rep. Nellie Pou (D-North Haledon) in the 9th congressional district.

If Burress were to enter the race, it would add an unpredictable new dimension to the race for the Paterson-based 9th district, which – despite being one of 13 districts nationwide in 2024 that elected a House Democrat while voting for Donald Trump – has yet to attract a huge amount of national attention or fundraising.

Burress’s interest in the race was first reported yesterday by Inside Elections.

A native of Pennsylvania and a former college track star, Burress works at the New Jersey law firm of Brandon J. Broderick as a workers’ compensation and personal injury attorney. She lives in Totowa (a Passaic County suburb located a few miles outside the boundaries of the 9th district) with her husband, who spent 14 seasons in the NFL, including four with the Giants and one with the Jets.
