Rep. Tom Kean Jr. is beloved in his home district, but it’s also changing. Democrats found a good candidate in Rebecca Bennett, and she will be the next member of Congress from New Jersey’s 7th District. This was one of the most competitive races in the country, and Bennett won handily with nearly 60 percent of the vote.
Kean was absent for much of the cycle, dealing with a health issue that kept him away from Congress. He did return, but it was too late. Overall, his health emergency was handled poorly.
