Marking One Year Without Roe, DCCC Launches Campaign to Hold Tom Kean Jr. Accountable for Anti-Abortion Extremism

One year later, vulnerable House Republicans continue their push for a national abortion ban

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, Tom Kean Jr. has continued his assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban. To highlight just how out of step Kean Jr. is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold Kean Jr. accountable for his anti-abortion crusade.

The campaign in New Jersey includes:

  • A new microsite, expanding upon an investment from last year that outlines Kean Jr.’s dangerous attacks on access to reproductive health care

  • Three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against Kean Jr. and other vulnerable House Republicans

The DCCC is making the stakes of this election crystal clear in New Jersey. With this campaign and others throughout the cycle, the DCCC will continue to highlight the extreme anti-abortion positions that Kean Jr. has staked out.

To that end, the DCCC is distributing a fact sheet highlighting Kean Jr.’s dangerous positions on stripping away reproductive freedoms HERE

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Tom Kean Jr. will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide. In the earliest weeks of the MAGA majority, he voted to punish doctors for providing reproductive care. Kean Jr. cannot be trusted to defend New Jersey womens’ fundamental rights and freedoms and, as a result, will be voted out of office in 2024.”

Earlier this week, the DCCC released a memo detailing why abortion remains a key electoral issue for 2024, which can be found HERE
