Tom Kean Jr. Puts New Extreme Speaker and His Agenda Over New Jerseyans

Today, Tom Kean Jr. elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After churning through a slew of other candidates, Kean Jr. went all in for Johnson and his extremism:

In case you haven’t heard of him, here’s a bit about Johnson:

• Johnson pushed for a total abortion ban without exceptions and voted for legislation to punish doctors for providing essential reproductive care.

• Johnson served as the chair of the Republican Study Committee, leading their efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare.

• Johnson was instrumental in the plan to overturn the 2020 election – the New York Times named him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”

Tom Kean Jr. has completely abandoned working families in New Jersey, siding with election deniers, anti-abortion extremists, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a sports coat. And he has a new best friend: Tom Kean Jr. Kean Jr. has enabled MAGA extremism every step of the way, and we’ll make sure that voters know that he again put the far-right before New Jersey workers and families.”
