BREAKING: Tom Kean Jr. Votes Against Aviation Safety

Kean Jr. was the ONLY member of New Jersey’s Congressional Delegation – Democratic or Republican – to vote NO on air safety

Congressman Tom Kean Jr. just showed once again how out-of-touch he is with New Jersey – this time by voting against a bipartisan aviation safety bill. 

Kean Jr. cast the deciding vote against the ROTOR Act, bipartisan legislation which “would have required planes to carry a type of tracking technology that federal investigators determined could have helped avoid a midair collision over the Potomac River last year that killed 67 people.”

Before Kean Jr. cast his inexplicable vote, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board told reporters“How many more people need to die for us to decide that action needs to be taken?”

Kean Jr.’s vote is a slap in the face to all of the victims and their families of the Potomac River crash – including those from his own state of New Jersey.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Tom Kean Jr. continues to put New Jersey last.”
