Friend,

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

There are only 43 days until Election Day, and voting has already begun 🤯. This past week, our opponent's campaign pumped another $520,000 behind her negative ad spend against Tom. But we are pushing back with your help - whether financial or on the ground. Will you please continue to step up and chip into our mission by volunteering some time to call voters or knock on doors? Her frantic spending is a clear sign that we have the momentum.

Our opponent is throwing as many resources as she can into the fight to try and move the poll numbers to attract outside help from Nancy Pelosi-backed Super PACs. If we can outlast her on the ground this week and next, the national radical democrats will have no choice but to abandon her efforts and focus elsewhere. 

For most of this week, Tom was in Washington to Chair committee hearings and vote on legislation. Tom has made a clear promise to NJ-07: He will fund the government responsibly and keep America open, no matter what the Democrats say. Upon his return to the district, he participated in events across three counties yesterday - including stops at community events, participating in parades, and honoring our veterans.

Our Field Team continued organizing volunteers and local campaigns on the ground for our Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts. They spent the week hosting phone banks and launching on the ground door-to-door canvassing. We put up some impressive numbers you can read about below. 

This week, Kean for Congress highlighted our opponent's union-busting efforts, her desire to raise your taxes, her history of advocating AGAINST a SALT Deduction Restoration, and her support of Defunding our Police. If all this isn't disqualifying enough to represent NJ-07, just wait to see what we have lined up this week 😮. Follow us on social media so you don't miss out!

If you are a vote-by-mail voter, ballots in New Jersey were mailed this past Saturday, September 21st. Please make sure to check your mailbox for your ballot, complete it and send it back by using either a secure dropbox, the U.S. Postal Service, or by delivering it to your county Board of Elections.

✅ Kean Hosts Annual Seniors of Distinction Event ✅

Recently, Tom hosted his second annual Seniors of Distinction event at the Bridgewater Township Senior Center, to honor outstanding seniors in the community.  

Tom honored 29 seniors, from all six counties in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.   

Read more about this great community event, and the work of all of NJ07's outstanding seniors.

“All the seniors honored dedicate their talents, passions and experience toward enriching the well-being of New Jersey communities. I thank them for their tireless efforts to uplift our communities.” 

- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.

Field Update

This past week, Tom made stops in Warren Township to support our local and county candidates, and gathered with volunteers and supporters in Long Valley at a rally with California Congressman Darrell Issa! On Sunday, Tom participated in the John Basilone Memorial Parade in Raritan Borough, made a stop at the Raritan Township Community Day, spoke at a veteran's event in Budd Lake, and visited with Jewish Leadership in Linden.

In the meantime, our Field Team coordinated with our municipal lawn sign captains for our upcoming sign blitz, scheduled upcoming door launches, and onboarded new volunteers. They spent much of the other time door knocking and phone banking with our grassroots volunteers.

Our door knocking program covered towns like Bridgewater, Warren, Somerville, Peapack & Gladstone, Bernards, Springfield, Mountainside, Rahway, Westfield, Summit, Mendham Township, Chester Borough, Chester Township, Sparta, Hampton, Glen Gardner, Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, Raritan Township, and more!  

Our scheduled launches in the coming weeks will cover Scotch Plains, Mountainside, Summit, Washington Township, Mendham Township, Raritan Township, Washington Borough, and more. We hope to see you there. Our weekly door goal is steadily increasing and we must make sure we are doing everything we can to reach the voters we need to. 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 continued our phone banking efforts with three organized phone banks this week - Hunterdon, Union, and Somerset. We set a new team record, calling over 15,000 voters across all six counties. The phone banks and the work of our remote callers is producing real results and valuable voter contacts. 

We have a minimum of three phone banks a week that you can join from now until Election Day! Don't forget to click our sign-up link if you would like to join our phone banking efforts in the coming weeks.

🚨 Endorsement Alerts 🚨

Kean for Congress announced another MAJOR endorsement this week: The New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association. 🚔 👮🏽

As the only pro-law enforcement candidate in the race, Tom has secured over $13 million in federal funding for first responder and law enforcement initiatives in NJ07 - from new equipment to building upgrades. We rely on our police to keep us safe, and they rely on Tom to always have their backs.

"I am honored to have received the endorsement of the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association. I will always have the backs of our men and women in law enforcement, and support their efforts to keep our communities safe every day. In #NJ07, we don't defund the police, we back the Blue."
