Friend,

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

There are only 15 days until Election Day! Where has the time gone?! We had an incredible week at Kean for Congress, and I am excited to share some fantastic updates below.

Thousands more vote-by-mail (VBM) ballots have been returned, and the Early Voting period begins this Saturday, October 26th. Make sure that you have a plan to vote! Every vote will matter in this close race. Please consider volunteering to phone bank, knock doors, or make yard signs so we can maintain this outstanding momentum, break further ahead, and run up the score before Election Day.

This past week, Tom and our campaign team, attended in-district events, focused on growing our war chest to keep our ads on air, door knocked and phone banked. Thanks to your help, we once again out-walked and out-called our opponent's team - the 4th week in a row! The efforts we make as a team to close out these last two weeks will be vital to a successful November 5th. 

Our Field Team spent the week organizing volunteers and working with our local campaign partners on the ground. This week coming, we will focus on running parallel tracks between VBM chase efforts and pushing our target universes to Early Vote! We hosted our usual weekly phone banks, and again increased our door-to-door canvassing goal across all six counties. 

This week, our comms team launched two new broadcast commercials, highlighted our opponent's flip-flop on supporting Israel, and called out her plans to decriminalize all narcotics. Follow us on social media so you don't miss out on any updates from our comms team!

If you choose, you can still request a vote-by-mail ballot if you would like until October 29th. If you do, please make sure to complete your ballot and return it before November 5th. Early in-person voting begins across all six counties this Saturday, October 26th at 10am. To find an early voting location, open times, and more information, please read the rest of the email. This year, I will be banking my vote for Tom at the early voting site nearest to me in Hunterdon County - it is an easy and effective system.

You can find more information on all ways to vote and participate by visiting our Voter Resources Page. Questions? Click this link.

📺 Kean for Congress Releases New Ad: "A Father" 📺

This past week, Kean for Congress released its newest ad, "A Father." The ad features Westfield resident Dorota Mani, a mother who found out her daughter and other students fell victim to deep-fake and explicit AI-generated images which had been shared by other students at school. 

The horrific incident sparked international headlines over the dangers of unchecked AI technology. In response to the incident, the Mani family partnered with Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. to help introduce and advocate for the AI Labeling Act.

“As a father, I am deeply disturbed by how effortlessly this technology can be used in an explicit nature and minors can easily be the victims. We live in a highly advanced world that is ever-changing. We must do everything we can to stop non consensual deep fakes online, and also ensure that there are legal repercussions for these bad actors.” 

- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.

📺 Kean for Congress Releases New Ad: "Radical Sue" 📺

Kean for Congress also released a new ad, "Radical Sue." The ad highlights Sue Altman’s history as the leader of the progressive New Jersey Working Families Party, her support for increased government spending, increased taxes and decriminalized narcotics, and her work to defund the police.

“Sue Altman’s extreme agenda is dangerous for New Jersey families. She has shown time and again that her priorities are out of touch with the values of the 7th District. While she fights for the fringes of her party, I am fighting for all of our constituents and communities.” 

- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.
