Instead of fighting corruption, they’re threatening our democracy and peddling conspiracy theories. Instead of protecting our hard-earned freedoms, they’re decimating reproductive rights. Instead of making New Jersey more affordable, they’re wasting time, leading the least productive Congress in history. This district deserves someone who will fight for our Jersey values in Washington and show up when it matters most. I have a track record of speaking truth to power. We need honest, fearless representation and a new generation of visionary and pragmatic leadership – and that’s why I’m running for Congress.

Sue has dedicated her career to rooting out political corruption in New Jersey in order to protect New Jersey’s taxpayers and our democracy – and she’s ready to take that work to Washington. Sue has pledged to never accept any donations from corporate PACs.

Women’s Rights and Abortion
With conservative extremists decimating reproductive rights, Sue will work to protect access to contraception, reproductive choice, and women’s health. As an advocate, Sue worked with grassroots groups to protect this right here in NJ.
Affordability
Affordability
Everything is too expensive! From groceries to housing to insurance and fuel, families are seeing more and more of their hard earned paycheck drain away each month. Sue has a long record of working hard for everyday people and will fight in Congress to spur competition in our economy, restore the SALT deduction so New Jerseyans are not double-taxed, fight for a livable wage for all workers, and ensure that homes are bought by humans, not corporations. Our district and our state must be a place where families can thrive, young people can find homes, and seniors can retire.
Public Safety
Public Safety
As our Congresswoman, Sue will fight for common-sense gun reforms to keep our schools, places of worship, and communities safe. She’ll work to give law enforcement the tools they need to get weapons of war out of our communities. She will work to ensure those responsible for crimes of hate are held accountable, investments are made into upstream causes of crime, our local police are fully funded to keep our communities safe, and white collar and political corruption crimes are investigated by law enforcement, and that those professionals have the funds they need to hold the powerful accountable by the law.

With just under two weeks to go until Election Day, Democratic congressional candidate Sue Altman is teaming up with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to air a new TV ad hitting Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-Westfield) for not holding in-person town halls.
“Tom Kean has chosen to stand with the most extreme elements of his party,” Altman says in the ad. “He doesn’t hold town halls – he hides! I’m Sue Altman and I approve this message because I’m committed to holding both parties accountable, and I am committed to putting New Jersey first.”
The ad is being paid for by both Altman and the DCCC, which as a party committee is allowed to transfer relatively small amounts of money to its allied candidates for joint ad expenditures. The DCCC is putting down a little less than $100,000 on the ad, while Altman’s campaign declined to say how much it’s spending.

Rep. Kean, Jr., challenger Altman face off in NJ-7
The race for congressional District 7 in New Jersey is being closely watched across the nation.
A win for challenger Sue Altman could give Democrats an edge in the U.S. House of Representatives.
A new Monmouth University poll shows Republican incumbent Tom Kean, Jr. is only leading by 2%, and the poll has a margin of error of 4.7%.
The swing district tends to lean red, covering Warren and Hunterdon counties, as well as parts of Somerset, Sussex and Union counties.
Altman, a Democrat, and Kean, a Republican, are flooding the airwaves with political ads. Voters have been bombarded with campaign fliers in the mail.
Kean is focusing on crime and securing the border. Altman on getting guns off the streets and a woman's right to choose.
Altman, a former teach and basketball player, says Kean's record in both the House and New Jersey state legislature is bad for women.
"You have 23 years worth of votes against Planned Parenthood, votes against codifying Roe. He even voted against making sure contraception was included in women's health insurance," Altman said.

Key races will determine control of Congress.
Key races will determine control of Congress.
The voters who will decide control of the White House and Congress next year live in a minority of states and congressional districts.
Hardly any of them live in New Jersey.
Presidential candidates are criss-crossing the country, hopping between Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin — the states that will determine the next commander in chief.
Rep. Andy Kim, a Democrat from South Jersey running for the U.S. Senate, is likely to win his race against Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw, and 11 of New Jersey’s 12 House seats are unlikely to be close races.
That leaves the race for control of the 7th district, where Rep. Tom Kean, a Republican, son of the former governor and grandson of a congressman from the mid-20th Century, is trying to fend off progressive Democratic organizer Sue Altman and win a second House term as the lone competitive federal election in the state.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. faces Sue Altman in NJ-7
Kean won the seat just two years ago after the district was realigned to favor a Republican majority. We asked his challenger Sue Altman about the issues impacting New Jersey.
"I think we need to codify ROE for women's reproductive rights. We need to make sure that it's not just left up to the states rights issue.... So, that's number one. On affordability, I mean, we need to make sure that there is vital and robust competition at every point of sale," Altman said.
The negative ad campaign has given her name recognition. Altman is a former basketball player who became a teacher and frustration drove her into politics.
"It is with the people of this district and my career. I have stood up against both parties when they've stepped out of line," Altman said.
