Tom Kean Jr. Votes to Rip Away Health Care Access and Take Food Off of New Jerseyans’ Tables

Kean Jr.’s vote takes away health care coverage and food assistance from working parents, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities in New Jersey

Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans just passed a far-right budget resolution that will rip away health care coverage and affordable food for millions of American families, all so they can fund massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers and wealthy corporations. 

In NJ-07 alone, this dangerous vote risks health care coverage for 32,000 people and food assistance for nearly 11,000 households. 

Despite the loud outcry of people in NJ-07 warning Kean Jr. to vote against decimating Medicaid and threatening their livelihoods, Kean Jr. still voted to pass this destructive budget scam, once again choosing his D.C. party bosses and billionaires over New Jerseyans.

The DCCC will hold Kean Jr. accountable for his support of this dangerous agenda to rip away health care and food access from New Jersey families. 

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Tom Kean Jr. just sealed his political fate by inflicting this massive pain on New Jersey families, and no amount of his desperate lies will save him from the political fallout of this vote.”
