Kean wins backing of U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Citing policies that support economic growth and job creation, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Tom Kean, Jr. for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsement is typically accompanied by money and grassroots work among their members.

“Tom Kean Jr. has demonstrated a commitment to supporting free enterprise and the American business community through pro-growth solutions, and he has earned the political support of the business community,” said Suzanne Clark, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO.

Kean is the front-runner against six other Republicans in the June 7 primary election to pick a challenger for Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes).

A former minority leader of the New Jersey State Senate, Kean came within one percentage point of unseating Malinowski in 2020.

This is Kean’s second endorsement by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  The group backed him against Malinowski two years ago.
