NJ-07: Labor-allied PAC launches robocalls against Kean [View all]
An independent political action committee backed by a coalition of progressive labor unions has launched robocalls into roughly 60,000 households in New Jersey’s 7th district focusing on Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield) and his missed votes since March 5.
But the robocall, paid for by Battleground Alliance PAC, speaks only to the missed votes and not about the health-related issues that have caused Kean’s absence.
The PAC has promised to spend $50 million this year to help Democrats flip enough seats to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Last year, POLITICO reported that Battleground Alliance PAC is connected to “more than 30 progressive and labor organizations, including the Service Employees International Union, Working Families Party, Planned Parenthood Votes, Indivisible and MoveOn.” According to its April quarterly report filed with the Federal Election Commission, the PAC raised $767,788.
Script: “Tom Kean has been missing from Congress for over 100 days. He skipped the vote to end Trump’s war in Iran. He skipped the vote, handed ICE $70 billion. He hasn’t held a town hall or shown his face in the district since winter. A congressman who isn’t there can’t fight for you. Call Tom Kean and ask where he’s been.”
