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.

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.

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.

The nailbiter among NJ congressional races
The nailbiter among NJ congressional races
The 7th Congressional District is seen as the only competitive congressional race in New Jersey this year, and while all the political rating groups say it’s freshman Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s to win, recent polling data shows Democrat Sue Altman has a path to victory.
A Monmouth University Poll released Wednesday said Kean was leading Altman by 2 percentage points, with 46% expressing support for Kean and 44% supporting Altman. That is within the poll’s margin of error of 4.7 percentage points, meaning the race is still too close to call. This is the only nonpartisan poll that has been done on the district this year, but it mirrors the results of an internal poll commissioned by the Altman campaign and another poll by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
That DCCC Analytics poll showed Vice President Kamala Harris up by one point over former President Donald Trump and Rep. Andy Kim (D-3rd) up by four points over Republican Curtis Bashaw in the Senate race. The poll’s margin of error is five points.

Malinowski Jumps into CD-7 in Support of Altman
Malinowski Jumps into CD-7 in Support of Altman
“He’s a national joke – literally,” Malinowski told about 100 people gathered in a downtown plaza. Malinowski said the only national attention Kean has gotten in Washington has been for standing silent in an elevator when a reporter tried to ask him questions.
This is, naturally, a presidential year. But with New Jersey considered a “safe state” for Kamala Harris, Malinowski urged the crowd to focus on CD-7, which covers at least parts of Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren counties.
“We have to focus on flipping this seat in the seventh district,” he said.

On Israel, Altman stands with Biden -- not Squad
On Israel, Altman stands with Biden -- not Squad
Sue Altman, the Democrat challenging Rep. Tom Kean Jr., stood on a stage in Rahway taking questions Wednesday night when a Republican lawyer took the microphone and praised her for her support of Israel, and her outspoken opposition to antisemitism.
“I wanted to express my appreciation,” the lawyer, Alan Levy, said afterwards. “She’s all-in on support of Israel and the Jewish community.”
This issue, like no other, splits the Democratic Party in two. Last year, Gallup asked Democrats if they were more sympathetic towards Israel or Palestinians, and for the first time the Palestinians came out on top. And as we saw during the campus protests in the spring, and in the anti-Israel pronouncement of “The Squad” in Congress, it is the progressive wing of the party that’s leading this charge.
Altman’s views are in line with President Biden. She supports a two-state solution and says that expanding Jewish settlements on the West Bank is a barrier to peace. But when it comes to Israel’s security, she is hard line. She supports every weapons shipment and shares the absolutist goals of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza war. “There is no path to peace as long as Hamas continues to exist,” Altman says.
