Food, rent, electricity, healthcare - in America we should be able to afford these basic necessities of life without going bankrupt.

Tom Kean Jr. has supported the current administration's tariffs and other policies which have led to:

We all deserve access to quality healthcare so we can live healthy and productive lives.

Tom Kean Jr. disagrees:

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security aren't handouts. They're earned benefits that we pay into out of every single paycheck, our entire working lives, so that we can see a doctor, take care of our parents, and retire with dignity instead of going bankrupt when we get old or sick.

For years, Tom Kean Jr. and his party have been quietly laying the groundwork to gut these programs. Now they've said the quiet part out loud.

We all need to pay our fair share to the government so it can provide the services that benefit all of us.

But billionaires in the U.S. pay a smaller tax rate than most teachers and nurses. That's not fair.

We all deserve clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet to live on.

Tom Kean Jr. has supported the repealing and rolling back of environmental protections and climate change regulations, all so that billionaires and big business can plunder natural resources and destroy our environment in the name of profit.

He has a 9% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025, and an 18% lifetime score.

I think we can all agree that nobody in America, the richest country in the world, should go hungry.

Tom Kean Jr. disagrees.

Nine out of ten American children — 49.6 million of them — go to a public school. It's where they learn to read, where they eat breakfast and lunch, where kids with disabilities are guaranteed an education by law, and where a kid from any family, rich or poor, religious or not, gets a fair shot.

Tom Kean Jr. and his party are taking that apart on purpose: draining public school money into private and religious schools, pushing one religion into everybody else's classrooms, and shutting down the federal department that is supposed to look out for our kids.

A good job where we can make a living to support our families, own a home, and have a good life. That's the American Dream.

Tom Kean Jr. supports policies and an administration that are turning the American Dream into a nightmare.

Our elected officials should work for us, the people.

Tom Kean Jr. works for billionaires and big business, not for us. He sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — and pro-Israel money runs through his account at a scale nothing else matches: AIPAC accounts for $205,031 this cycle and $264,013 last cycle, while he votes on the policy it lobbies for. His other seat is on Energy and Commerce, which writes the rules for drug makers, telecom giants and health insurers. Only 5% of his money came from small grassroots donors, out of the $19.4 million raised. Look at who some of his top funders are:

We all want a government that works for us as efficiently and effectively as possible. Unfortunately our government doesn't always work that way, so reform is badly needed. Given how big and complicated the government is, it's a tough problem that needs well-thought out solutions, so that we don't make things worse.

That's not what we got.

Tom Kean Jr. stood idly by while billionaire and ketamine-addled chaos monkey Elon Musk and his DOGE goons chainsawed their way through the U.S. government, promising to save the government at least $2 trillion annually in waste, fraud and abuse. Because they had no idea what they were doing and no one to stop them, in the end our government suffered, people suffered, New Jersey suffered, government spending actually went UP and Elon Musk became even richer.

Elon Musk and DOGE:

As a member of Congress, part of Tom Kean Jr.'s job is to act as a check and balance to the executive branch. He and his fellow members of Congress from New Jersey have completely abdicated their responsibility. These spineless cowards are rubber stamping everything Donald Trump wants to do, no matter how crazy, dangerous or harmful. And we've seen the results. We deserve better.

Jeffrey Epstein ran a global sex trafficking network that sexually abused dozens of girls and women for decades. The FBI's 2006 federal investigation identified 36 girls who were minors at the time of their abuse. When finally released in 2026, the files — over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images — revealed what UN human rights experts called "disturbing and credible evidence" of a possible global criminal enterprise. Those experts said some of the conduct may meet the threshold for crimes against humanity, including sexual slavery, torture, and enforced disappearance.

For months, House Republican leadership blocked every vote to release these files — and Tom Kean Jr. went along.

America is the land of FREEDOM. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to start a business, freedom to choose your own career path, freedom to make your own medical decisions, freedom to raise your children according to your values, and freedom to pursue happiness. Freedom is what makes America great.

Unless you're a woman and you're making the deeply personal decision about whether to have a baby or not. A decision that will dramatically affect the rest of your life. In that case Tom Kean Jr. thinks that your freedom doesn't matter and that the government should get to control your body. That's not freedom, that's tyranny.

Tom Kean Jr.:

In America our vote represents our will. It gives us the power to make the change that we want to see in the world.

Unfortunately that's not a sentiment that Tom Kean Jr.'s billionaire and big business donors can stomach. Because when we have voting power, we use it to make our lives better, and they lose power. Read about all the ways they're trying to take away our voting power on our about page, then come back here.

Tom Kean Jr. has opposed legislation to make voting easier while supporting the SAVE Act, which would force every single American citizen to prove their citizenship status in person when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. For the vast majority of Americans, this would mean presenting a passport or birth certificate at their local election office. This would disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens: 146 million Americans do not have a passport, and 69 million women who have married do not have a birth certificate that matches their new legal name. Working-class and low-income Americans would also be disproportionately disenfranchised if the bill became law, as the vast majority of these groups do not possess a passport.

Whether white, black, or brown, we should all be able to live in America and exercise our constitutional rights without fear that law enforcement will turn on us.

But the current administration has created a secret police force that is abusing their power against anyone who stands in their way, U.S. citizen or not. They claim to be going after "the worst of the worst", but are taking daycare workers, day laborers, grandmas and kids who are valued members of our communities. And Tom Kean Jr., staunch defender of the Second Amendment to fight back against government tyranny, is doing nothing while the government tyrannizes us.

War destroys human lives, families and innocent people, causes economic ruin, and triggers immense suffering. War should always be the option of last resort.

In order to distract from the Epstein Files, Donald Trump started an illegal war of choice with Iran, and now:

Good leaders meet with their constituents and have town halls where citizens can voice concerns, ask questions, and provide input on policies. Tom Kean Jr. doesn't want to hear what we have to say. He only wants to talk to his rich donors or people who agree with him.

Tom Kean Jr. does his town halls by phone, with no one allowed to ask a question live — an aide reads out pre-submitted ones. He has been criticized for not holding "live" town halls, "or for that matter, engaging with the public and press."

And in 2026, his constituents spent nearly four months not knowing where their representative was at all. Kean's last vote was March 5, and he went on to miss more than 100 votes without being spotted in Washington or in his district, while his office said almost nothing about why or when he would return. Only on June 30 — four weeks after winning his primary unopposed — did he return to the House floor and announce that he had received a depression diagnosis that led to an extended hospital stay.

During those months of silence, the Congressional Record told a different story. While Kean was nowhere to be seen, he introduced legislation, and five speeches appeared under his name in the Congressional Record — including one celebrating a constituent's 100th birthday. House Republican Cloakroom guidance says such material "must bear the original signature of the submitting member" and that the cloakroom "cannot accept faxed or electronic copies." His office did not answer questions about how he submitted them.

Since returning, Kean has yet to do an extensive press interview or schedule a town hall — even the telephone town halls he held in years past.

We should hold our leaders to high standards — and Kean set the bar himself.

SALT stands for state and local taxes — the property and income taxes New Jerseyans already pay to their town and their state. For decades you could deduct all of it from your federal taxable income, so the same dollar wasn't taxed twice. The 2017 Trump tax law capped that deduction at $10,000, and undoing that cap has been a top priority for New Jersey ever since.

As vice chair of the bipartisan Congressional SALT Caucus, Kean told New Jerseyans he aimed to fully restore the SALT deduction. He came up short. What he delivered was a temporary $40,000 cap that snaps back to $10,000 in 2030. New Jersey's own Senator Andy Kim wrote to him that "anything you vote for other than a full repeal of the SALT cap harms our constituents."

Kean won his seat in 2022 by hammering his Democratic opponent over stock trades he had failed to disclose on time. The day before he was sworn in, he said he was committed to bringing the "highest level of ethics and transparency" to the office, and had asked his lawyer to start setting up a blind trust. Instead he later had to self-report his own trades that had been left off earlier disclosure reports — the very failure he had attacked his opponent for. And the blind trust never happened: by July 2025 his lawyer was writing to the House Ethics Committee to explain that Kean's own conditions on the trust had made him ineligible for the committee's approval, so his money sits instead with managers he says act "without his input, prior knowledge, or direction."

Then, while no one knew where he was — absent and silent for months — Kean disclosed buying and selling shares of eight different stocks between March 10 and March 31, worth between $50,008 and $190,000. He personally certified that disclosure on April 13. His office insisted he has "a blind structure with his personal investments" — not the congressionally approved blind trust he promised voters.

The trades never stopped. In June — while he was still away from Congress — his portfolio made 18 more trades worth up to $340,000, including six on the day he won his primary and another on the day he finally returned to the House floor. Together, the trades disclosed during his absence run to as much as $530,000. His campaign account kept working too, bringing in $167,585 between April 1 and May 13 while he was out of public view. He couldn't show up to vote for his constituents, but the money never missed a day.

Kean promised he would be different — but he is just another DC politician who says one thing and does another. We deserve better.
