Will Tom Kean Jr. Defend Reproductive Rights?

As the House prepares to vote on the Women's Health Protection Act, Kean Jr. must tell NJ-07 voters where he stands

Silence speaks volumes, and on protecting reproductive freedom and the constitutional right to an abortion, it appears Tom Kean Jr. has lost his tongue.

As the House gets set to vote on legislation that would take the long-overdue step of codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade and affirm nearly 50 years of Supreme Court precedent, voters in NJ-07 deserve to know if Tom Kean Jr. would stand with them and the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion.

This legislation could not be more urgent as the Supreme Court is set to strip protections for reproductive rights and allow Republicans across the country to ban abortions entirely.

Tom Kean Jr. must answer now: Will he stand up for Americans' freedom to make their own personal health care decisions, or continue to hide on the issues most important to NJ-07 voters?

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer

"Tom Kean Jr. continues to hide from the press and voters on the issues facing New Jersey families. Here is his opportunity, if he was in Congress would he support reproductive rights or would he side with the Radical Republicans he has aligned himself with?"
