Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr. is hitting the airwaves to stump for his son, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), as he faces Democratic challenger Rebecca Bennett in the race for the state’s toss-up 7th Congressional District.

Kean Jr., who took a prolonged absence from the House floor this spring as he battled depression, is running to defend his seat in one of the most competitive House seats in the country. After returning to the lower chamber, Kean Jr. has hit the campaign trail running, pulling out all the stops, such as stumping with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and releasing his latest video advertisement with his popular former-governor father.
