Friend,

Welcome back to another edition of our weekly Kean for Congress newsletter update. I know it's been a while since you last heard from me and there is a lot to catch you up on...

Firstly, I want to reiterate from my post-primary email my deepest thanks to everyone who made the June 4th Primary extremely successful for Team Kean and Republicans across NJ07. With your help and hard work, Tom won his primary with over 78% of the vote, and won every town in the District. You made this possible - the phone banks, door knocking, and direct voter contact paved the way for a successful election night. Together, we called over 60,000 voters and knocked on tens of thousands of doors across all six counties.

Team Kean is looking forward to working with all local candidates in the coming months, to help ensure Republican victories up and down the ticket. We are guided by a simple message: 

ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM

Since the primary, our field team has been busy launching our general election plan, motivating our volunteer base, hosting phone banks, and door knocking! We are just under 4 months until ELECTION DAY, and every day counts.

We've also received some major endorsements, and just closed out Q2. (see below!)

Read more below to stay up-to-date on everything Kean for Congress has been up to!

✅ Fire Grants and Safety Act Signed Into Law ✅

On July 9th, Tom helped secure a major win for firefighters and first responders. The Fire Grant and Safety Act will provide a five-year reauthorization for the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), the Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) Program, and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant (SAFER) Program. The bill was authored by Congressman Kean and signed into law by the President in the Oval Office.

“This bill will provide firefighters, as well as the communities they serve, the protection they both need. As a former volunteer firefighter and EMT, I know that we cannot play political games with the needs of our first responders.The Fire Grants and Safety Act passed the House with a 92% vote and with 88% in the Senate. We worked across the aisle and found common ground. We delivered big results that will change lives for the better.” 

- Tom Kean, Jr.

Field Update

Since the Primary, Tom and the team have been in the field regularly. Tom participated in July 4th celebrations in Morris, Sussex, Union, and Warren Counties, and has joined local candidates in door knocking and voter contact efforts.

From the field team, our Directors have met with local candidates across all six counties to work on building and implementing our on-the-ground plan. Have you seen our volunteers and partners at your door yet?

In addition to meeting with local candidates, we have launched our summer door knocking efforts in towns like Westfield, Mendham Borough, Long Hill, Warren Township, Flemington, Hackettstown, Bridgewater, Bedminster, Winfield Park and Scotch Plains (just to name a few!). We have already brought our message to thousands of new voters, with thousands more still in the pipeline. Don't forget to click our sign-up link if you would like to join our door efforts in the coming weeks.

Kean for Congress has also relaunched our weekly phone bank series in Somerset, Hunterdon, and Morris counties. We are engaging in positive conversations with the critical swing-voter universe, a key to our winning coalition.

Recent phone banks have resulted in as many as 10,000 calls made to voters. We couldn't do it without our dedicated team of volunteers!

Call for Volunteers!! The Kean for Congress team will have a significant door launch efforts in the coming weeks. Join Team Kean and local candidates as we knock on key swing-voter doors.

What They Are Saying

"Kean understands what it means to represent working and middle-class families in New Jersey. In just one term, he has supported significant infrastructure investment which was the runway to green lighting the Gateway Tunnel program, stood up to members of his own party who attacked organized labor and has been a champion for our state. Tom brings the right blend of experience and temperament for a Washington where hyperbole and gaslighting rule the day."

- Greg Lalevee, Business Manager IUOE Local 825
