Tom Kean Jr. won't show up to work, but he will trade stocks.
That's what voters are going to be learning about their absent congressman, courtesy of our first @DCCC general election digital ad in #NJ07⤵️
Bennett romped pretty much everywhere, winning all but five towns* across her sprawling district despite being the only candidate targeted by negative ads. She’s definitely got a strong organization she can carry into November.
*no town-level results yet in Sussex
'He has absolutely failed this district.' Democrat Rebecca Bennett joins @jaketapper to discuss how she'll run against GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr, who hasn't been seen since March as his office says he deals with a health issue.
Where is @KeanForCongress?
He represents all of Hunterdon and Warren counties, and portions of Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Union counties. If you know anyone there, let them know that their vote for @rebeccafornj07 could decide control of the U.S. House.
Congratulations to @RebeccaForNJ07 on your victory in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District Democratic primary.
NJ deserves a representative who will show up every day and fight for working families, not MAGA extremists.
I look forward to winning together in November!
"Yeah, I am nervous. Of course I am. Because it’s a very unsettling situation." — Morris County GOP Chair Laura Ali on Tom Kean Jr.'s prolonged absence
There is no path to taking back the House majority that does not involve flipping New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. That’s why @RebeccaForNJ07 is running for Congress. She knows New Jersey deserves a leader who shows up and puts service above politics and solutions above division.
Let’s go win this!
📺 @RebeccaForNJ07 with the mic drop on @MSNOWNews:
“The Republicans did try to spend $650K in negative attack ads to try and put their thumb on the scale in this primary…
I just want to congratulate them for lighting their money on fire.” 🔥
I got into this race 16 months ago to fight for the version of the country we are going to leave for my daughters and our next generation, and because Washington is failing our communities. I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee to flip this critical seat, and I could not be more grateful for the coalition we have built to flip this seat and send principled, ethical leadership to Washington.
We're ready for this fight. Bring it on.
