House Republicans have failed to pass a last-ditch funding bill, making a government shutdown starting this Sunday, October 1, almost certain. A shutdown will delay disaster recovery projects, cancer research, and more, while forcing federal employees to work without pay.

With his vote for Jim Jordan, Tom Kean once again abandoned New Jerseyans. From abortion bans to insurrection, Jim Jordan is one of the worst members of Congress. Tom Kean’s vote directly enables Jordan’s actions. Together, we will remove Kean and restore leadership to #NJ07 .
