SUE ALTMAN TOWN HALL TOUR
2024-09-21 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York)
Sue: “This campaign has always been defined by who shows up for New Jersey and who doesn’t. Tom Kean, Jr. has spent his career dodging reporters, hiding from his constituents, and taking cues from extremists in his own party instead of the people he represents. NJ-07 deserves a representative who shows up and fights for New Jersey families – Kean, Jr.’s refusal to be the representative NJ-07 deserves has created a vacuum of leadership our campaign will fill. That’s why I’m hosting a Town Hall Tour to hit all 6 counties of NJ-07 between now and election day – and I want to hear from YOU. I’ll see you on the trail!”
