Congressman Tom Kean, currently representing New Jersey’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared updates on various initiatives through a series of tweets. The congressman highlighted efforts to support veterans, announced an upcoming town hall event, and provided updates on local infrastructure projects.
On June 20, 2025, Congressman Kean stated that his office has facilitated the return of over $2.5 million to veterans in New Jersey. He cited a recent example involving Elmer from Oxford, whose 93-year-old father received overdue Veterans Pension Benefits. Kean encouraged those needing assistance with veterans benefits or federal matters to reach out for help “My office has helped return more than $2.5 million to veterans in New Jersey.”
Later that day, Congressman Kean announced he would be hosting a telephone town hall on Saturday, June 28 at 10:30 AM. This event aims to provide updates on his work in Washington and offer constituents the opportunity to ask questions and provide input “I’m hosting my next telephone town hall on Saturday, June 28 at 10:30 AM.”
In another tweet posted on June 20, Congressman Kean informed residents that all lanes of I-80 in Wharton, NJ are scheduled to reopen following permanent repairs to sinkholes. This development marks the end of months-long disruptions for residents and businesses relying on this critical roadway “All lanes of I-80 in Wharton, NJ are set to fully re-open tomorrow.”
Thomas Kean Jr., who succeeded Tom Malinowski in Congress in 2023 after serving multiple terms in both the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate since 2001, continues his legislative work from Westfield where he resides.
