Rep. Tom Kean Jr. Wins Reelection in New Jersey

Republican incumbent Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has successfully secured re-election in New Jersey's competitive 7th Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Sue Altman by a margin of 51% to 47%. This race was particularly notable as it was seen as a battleground, with the district having previously voted for President Biden in 2020. Kean, who initially won the seat in 2022, focused his campaign on economic issues and cost reductions for families, while Altman championed women's rights and gun control. The race was intense, with both candidates utilizing significant campaign resources and advertisements. Despite the district's Republican lean, Altman's progressive platform and local support posed a formidable challenge. The election results reflect the ongoing political dynamics and competitiveness in New Jersey's congressional races.
