Kean Jr.'s Campaign Built on Hollow Claims

Kean Jr.'s campaign for Congress is built on four main claims: he fixed healthcare, stopped corruption in Washington, held Bennett accountable for her work in the healthcare industry, and highlighted a single instance of a claim denied by a healthcare company where Bennett worked. However, upon examination, these claims fall short.

An easy way to assess whether Kean Jr. 'fixed' healthcare is to look at one's own premiums and rising costs. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which passed Congress, actually increased healthcare premiums for ordinary Americans by 58% on average, while keeping them about the same for members of Congress.

Kean Jr. has also been vocal about stopping corruption in Washington, particularly with regards to stock trading by politicians and their families. However, he remains silent on over 3,600 Trump family stock trades in 2026 alone, including those made in companies that benefitted from government contracts and/or recent government action.

Kean Jr.'s campaign ads also claim that Bennett should be disqualified from running for office due to her work in the healthcare industry. However, this argument is flawed, as it would disqualify over 524,000 people who work in healthcare in New Jersey, including 14,000 at Johnson & Johnson.

Kean Jr.'s decision to campaign on these hollow claims evinces a contempt for voters' intellect and raises questions about his own integrity and principle.
