Friend,

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

There are only 36 days until Election Day, and votes are already being banked. Vote-by-mails are being returned to the Board of Elections offices as the Early Voting period approaches. We are well on our way to a successful Nov. 5th. Your efforts now will help make it happen, please consider volunteering to phone bank, knock doors, or make yard signs.

This past week, Kean for Congress launched our new ad, attended in-district events, launched labor walks, and increased our voter contacts. We have the momentum, and our opponent's campaign is running on fumes. If we can outperform her on the ground this week and next, the democrats will fully jump ship on her chances, leaving us a clear path to run up the score. 

For most of this week, Tom was in Washington, wrapping up his Congressional work ahead of the fall recess. Tom attended committee meetings and mark-ups, met with constituents and advocacy groups, and kept his word to keep the government and America open and funded. 

Our Field Team organized new volunteers and ensured our local campaign partners on the ground had the resources they needed for our Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts. We hosted our weekly phone banks, doubled down on our door-to-door canvassing, and partnered with our fantastic partners in labor for a blitz of Union County - the first of many more in the coming weeks. We put up some impressive numbers you can more read about below. 

This week, Kean for Congress comms highlighted our opponent's radical D.C. partnerships, her work to defund our police while leading the progressive Working Families Party, and her insane anti-law enforcement rhetoric. The Altman agenda will make our communities less safe and will have dangerous consequences if she wins. We can't let that happen, and just wait to see what we have lined up this week 😮. Follow us on social media so you don't miss out!

Most vote-by-mail voters should have received their ballots this past week. 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. Please make sure to complete your ballot and return it before November 5th. Questions? Click this link.

🚔 NEW AD - "KEEP US SAFE" 🚔

🚨 Our newest ad "Keep Us Safe" was released this week. Have you seen it on TV yet? 🚨

The ad highlights Tom's steadfast support of the law enforcement community, and his work in Washington to secure over millions in federal funding for projects including upgrading equipment and infrastructure for law enforcement. The ad also covers Tom’s work sponsoring legislation to stop the rise in car thefts, and prevent dangerous drugs like fentanyl from pouring onto our streets.

✅ Kean Constituent Services Return Over $10 Million to NJ-07 Residents ✅

This past week, Tom announced that his constituent services team has officially recovered over $10,000,000 in benefits for residents across District 7.

I know Tom, and if there is one thing I can point to in his work that he is most proud of, it is his constituent services operations. From hosting mobile office hours in all 95 town, to his pop-up offices, and their constant efforts at public fairs and events, Tom and his government team are always fighting to ensure resident casework concerns are being address timely towards positive resolutions.   

Read more about this incredible milestone here.

“I am committed to serving my district to ensure every constituent receives the benefits and assistance to which they are entitled.” 

- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.

Field Update

After returning from D.C., Tom made stops in Westfield to cut the ribbon at the Greek Festival, Rahway for the Republican BBQ and a Labor Walk Launch, and Bridgewater for our annual Beer & Chili Fest. Now that Tom's work in Washington is done through November, he will be all across the district every day speaking with voters and attending events.

The Field Team coordinated with our municipal lawn sign captains to finalize the sign-blitz plan, scheduled upcoming door launches, and onboarded new volunteers. They spent much of the other time making volunteer calls, door knocking and phone banking with our grassroots teams.

Our door knocking program covered towns like Frenchtown, Lambertville, Clinton, Raritan Township, Readington, Bridgewater, Bernards, Bedminster, Warren Township, Green Brook, Somerville, Long Hill, Mount Olive, Mendham Township, Springfield, Westfield, Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Hackettstown, Sparta, Phillipsburg Washington, Lopatcong, Hopatcong, and Mansfield! 

We held our first of many-to-come labor walks with our partners from the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, who showed up in force to help get Tom over the finish line. Together, they knocked on thousands of doors in mere hours, and we are grateful for their support and GOTV efforts. Tom will continue to have the back of our labor unions and ensure their priorities are address in Washington. Labor and Tom Kean - perfect together.

Our scheduled launches in the coming weeks will cover Scotch Plains, Mountainside, Summit, Washington Township, Raritan Township, Washington Borough, Somerville, Bernards, Bernardsville, Sparta, Lopatcong and more. We hope to see you there. Our weekly door goal is increasing significantly next week, 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 two organized phone banks this week - Union, and Somerset. This week we were able to call over 13,000 voters across all six counties. The phone banks and the work of our remote callers is producing real results and valuable voter contacts, as well as chasing outstanding vote-by-mail ballots to be returned.

We have a minimum of two to three phone banks a week that you can join from now until Election Day! This number will increase as our county organizations launch their vote-by-mail chase efforts. We are launching texting banks this week as well, an easy way to get involved. Don't forget to click our sign-up link if you would like to join our phone and texting banking efforts in the coming weeks.
