REMINDER: Tom Kean Jr. Voted to Protect Reckless Tariffs That Raise Costs on New Jersey Families

NJ Spotlight: “Tom Kean Jr. […] voted to maintain the tariffs”

Vulnerable Congressman Tom Kean Jr. campaigned on a promise to lower costs, but he keeps voting to jack up prices instead. 

NJ Spotlight highlights in their reporting today that Kean Jr. voted to protect Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada – New Jersey’s top trading partner.

In the past month, Kean Jr. has voted twice to rubber-stamp Trump’s sweeping tariffs. His votes come as analysis reveals that Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,700 last year, and as the Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s reckless tariff approach.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Tom Kean Jr. would rather protect price-spiking tariffs than New Jersey families. The receipts don’t lie: Kean Jr.’s campaign promise to lower costs was a complete lie, and his broken promises will cost him his seat in November.”
