Friend,

Happy Monday! Welcome back to the final edition of the weekly Kean for Congress newsletter update during the 2024 cycle! These past few months have been incredible, and tomorrow, NJ-07 will head to the ballot box. Tomorrow will be the culmination of the hard work of so many of you reading this email, and many more beyond that.

Over the past year, we have built a team and campaign to be proud of. While there are many people to thank, I would like to highlight four incredibly talented, dedicated, and kind individuals that I have had the pleasure to work with each and every day - our Field Directors: Isabella Kovar, JJ Cahill, Luke McManimon, and Owen McTernan. These four have not only been assets on the ground working with our interns, volunteers, county organizations and local campaigns, but have been excelling at keeping the ship running behind the scenes. I am grateful and fortunate to have been able to call them my team and my friends.

Election Day is only TOMORROW away! We have left it all on the field. Make a plan to vote. Find your polling location. Go to the polls. Vote! 

Over 208,000 voters across NJ-07 have already cast their vote - nearly 35% of all registered voters in the District! Our Republican team has WON the Early vote, and drastically cut into the Democrats' advance vote lead. We are in great shape headed into tomorrow.

Please consider volunteering at our final, all-day phone banking operations tomorrow. We will be pushing Republicans and our allies to the polls to vote for Tom Kean, Jr.!

This past week, Tom spent time across the district at events, knocked on doors, and sharing his closing message with the voters of NJ-07. It was a long week, filled with highlights and milestones, all of which I will cover below.

Our Field Team spent the week on final volunteer and local campaign launches, expanding our Our Get Out The Vote (GOTV) field plan, chasing outstanding vote-by-mail ballots, and encouraging early voting.

If you have a vote-by-mail ballot, it must be post marked by tomorrow to be counted, or returned to a secure dropbox by 8pm to count. 

Polls will be open across NJ-07 tomorrow from 6:00am to 8:00pm. You can find your polling place here. If you are in line by 8:00pm you must be allowed to cast your vote. Please do not leave. Our team has established a Voter Integrity hotline to report any issues or concerns. The number is 732-335-7300. The lines will be monitored beginning at 6:00am when polls open.

You can find more information on all ways to vote and participate by visiting our Voter Resources Page.

On a personal closing note, it has been an honor to serve Tom for the past year in my role as Campaign Manager. I first met Tom when he was a then-State Senator and spoke at my Eagle Scout Ceremony in 2015. Tom spoke about how a reverence to public service is an honorable quality. He spoke about how Eagle Scouts understand this and work to serve their community each and every day. In my mind, Tom upholds the same qualities I learned in Scouting.

Both Tom and Rhonda are kind, caring, and compassionate individuals who always put others before themselves. Tom serves with humble leadership, lifts up those around him, and cares deeply about helping others.

I cast my vote for Tom Kean, Jr., and I hope you will do the same. 

Let's win,

- Kean MacLelland

Field Update

Tom made stops in Scotch Plains, Clark, New Providence, Bernards, Readington, Bridgewater, Westfield, Berkeley Heights, and Mountainside just to name a few! Tom also participated in an interview with Newsmax yesterday morning. 

Our door knocking program covered towns like Milford, Alexandria, Flemington, Raritan, Clinton Town, Clinton Township, Readington, Hackettstown, Washington Borough, Pohatcong, Greenwich, Lopatcong, Oxford, Mansfield, Byram, Stanhope, Sparta, Bridgewater, Bedminster, Raritan Borough, Bernards, Bernardsville, Warren Township, Hillsborough, Westfield, Clark, Scotch Plains, and Rahway, just to name a few!

I would like to give a special thanks to IBEW Local 102 for the second week in a row for their efforts in the Field. IBEW held a labor launch in Clark where they knocked on over 1,500 doors. We are very proud of our campaign's labor coalition this year, and will work to continue to advocate for their priorities every day in Washington. Please send them your thanks!

As I send this email, we have volunteers, interns and campaigns in the field knocking on doors ahead of tomorrow. Because of these collaborative efforts, we knocked on over 11,500 doors (and counting!) for GOTV week. The energy on the ground has been incredible. Since Labor Day, we have sent over 1,300,000 text messages, made over 208,000 phone calls, and knocked on over 57,000 doors.

Kean for Congress continued our phone banking efforts with organized phone banks this week. We focused on pushing Republican voters to utilize early voting, and chase remaining mail in ballots. This week, and with the projected numbers from tonight's phone bank, we will be able to call over 25,000 voters across all six counties. We also sent out over 325,000 text messages to residents and voters, and will send an additional 150,000 messages over the next 24 hours. Absolutely incredible.

Tomorrow will be our last major phone bank push as we call voters to head to the polls! Don't forget to click our sign-up link if you would like to join.
