Kean Statement on New Jersey Election Integrity

(July 22, 2026) WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) released a statement on election integrity in New Jersey.

Read the statement below:

Every illegal voter is an attack on the integrity of our elections and the voice of every law-abiding American. The revelations from our state government that we have thousands of illegal aliens on New Jersey's voter rolls, with hundreds actively voting in our elections is just stunning and completely unacceptable. We have watched races for the Legislature, county offices, and local government across our state be decided by razor-thin margins, which is why every improper registration matters and every illegal vote undermines public confidence. It is well past time to take concrete steps to protect our democracy. Republicans have the strong, common sense solutions to do just that. First, we should push for unanimous acknowledgement that only American citizens should vote in American elections. Those who actively choose to not protect our democracy must be held accountable.
