Friend,

Welcome back to another edition of our weekly Kean for Congress newsletter update!

Honestly, I can't even believe I am saying this, but we are exactly 100 DAYS away from Election Day. Over the next 100 days, the Kean for Congress team will continue to spread our positive campaign message to voters as to why we must send Tom back to Congress, and prosecute the case against our dangerous opponent. The choice couldn't be clearer on who represents honest and real New Jersey values needed in Washington. 

For the better part of this week, Tom was in Washington - meeting with residents and businesses, chairing the Europe subcommittee, attending Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu's Joint Address to Congress, and voting on critical legislation. Earlier to start the week, Tom joined volunteers and candidates to door knock in Long Hill, and attended farmers' markets and street fairs in Hunterdon and Warren Counties. Tom also secured some major endorsements from civic and union groups. More on some of this below.

Here in NJ07, our Field Team participated in more volunteer trainings, door-launches and phone banks, and attended local events across the district. To join our hardworking team, please visit our website. Every effort - no matter how small or large - contributes to the success of our Republican team.

Every day matters, and there is no better time to step up than right now.

Kean Brings IDF Soldier, Scotch Plains Native as Guest to Netanyahu Address

This week, Tom attended Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu's Joint Address to Congress. His special guest was Scotch Plains native, Dylan Redfield. Dylan is a member of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has served two years with the IDF after graduating from the University of Maryland. He is currently an IDF reservist.  

Wednesday's remarks, along with Tom and Dylan's attendance, underscores that the Kean for Congress team will always stand against rising anti-semitism across New Jersey and the United States. We must continue to support our greatest ally in the Middle East, stand up to pro-Hamas agitators, and provide Israel with the tools they need to defeat terrorism. Please thank Dylan for his bravery and determination in securing a better world for Jewish residents at home and abroad.

"There were times while I was serving in the IDF in Israel when I looked back at the news from New Jersey and saw my Congressman showing his unwavering support for Israel. It gave me hope to continue serving in the IDF. It is an absolute honor to be here in Washington, DC, where there is so much interconnected significance, and watching the Prime Minister address a Joint Session of Congress truly meant a lot to me.” 

- Dylan Redfield
