Congressman Tom Kean, who represents New Jersey’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of updates on November 18, 2025, addressing funding for police departments, government transparency, and broadband infrastructure.
In a post from November 18 at 16:08 UTC, Kean announced funding for law enforcement facilities: “As communities grow and demands on law enforcement increase, our police need updated & reliable facilities. I fought for and secured over $2.5M for police departments to ensure officers have the resources they need to protect and serve effectively.”
Later that day at 19:53 UTC, Kean commented on congressional transparency efforts: “As I have long said, these files should be released because full transparency is the right thing to do. Today, as that question came to the floor, I voted for their release. Now Congress must use the coming weeks and months to do the work necessary to deliver cost-cutting”.
On November 18 at 21:06 UTC, Kean highlighted legislative activity regarding digital infrastructure: “Today @HouseCommerce Communications & Technology Subcommittee held a markup of broadband permitting bills. With these bills, we are working to close the digital divide by streamlining permitting for the critical wireless infrastructure we all rely on “.
