The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has endorsed Representative Tom Kean for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. The announcement was made at a campaign event and small business roundtable in Green Brook, New Jersey.

Eileen Kean, NFIB New Jersey State Director, stated, “Rep. Tom Kean has a proven record of supporting small businesses, earning an NFIB Voting Record of 100%.” She highlighted his efforts in prioritizing tax relief by cosponsoring the Main Street Tax Certainty Act and understanding the needs of New Jersey job creators and their employees. “We are proud to endorse Rep. Kean for re-election today and look forward to continuing to work with him,” she added.

Representative Tom Kean emphasized the importance of supporting small businesses: “Small businesses are the economic backbone of our country, creating jobs on Main Street and in each of our communities.” He noted his focus on addressing inflation, reducing costs, and cutting bureaucratic red tape as essential measures for helping these businesses thrive. "That is my focus each day in D.C. – to be a champion for business in the Garden State," he said.

Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director, expressed confidence in Rep. Kean's continued support for small businesses: “We know Rep. Tom Kean will continue to be a dependable voice for small businesses in Congress.” She praised his pro-small business voting record and advocacy for policies that empower Main Street growth.

The endorsement comes from NFIB FedPAC, NFIB’s political action committee funded by voluntary contributions from its members beyond their dues. The decisions by NFIB FedPAC are guided by member-driven grassroots evaluations.
