She was named by the New Jersey Law Journal list as one of the Diverse Attorneys of the Year. She has spent decades as a skilled labor and employment attorney, earning wide praise. Peterpaul has appeared on Court TV as a guest panelist and on other news outlets as a legal analyst.

A graduate of Duquesne University, and Seton Hall School of Law, she lives with her wife Robin in Long Branch.
“As we watch the chaos unfold in Washington DC, we see similarities with the two deeply partisan Assemblymembers currently representing the 11th District. The residents of Monmouth County deserve representatives who believe in fairness for all and will put our future and families above politics. We need Assemblymembers who will work with our Senator Vin Gopal and across the aisle to promote civility and bipartisanship and will join Senator Gopal in fighting for infrastructure funding in our district, supporting women’s healthcare funding and work towards real solutions in our public safety, affordability and support the working families of Monmouth County,” stated Donlon and Peterpaul
