Image July 20, 2026 Press Release (July 20, 2026) LEBANON BOROUGH, NJ – Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) announced that he has amassed more than $100 million for New Jersey’s Seventh Congressional District. Since taking office in 2023, Congressman Kean has secured nearly $39 million through Community Project Funding and his office has successfully closed more than 5,400 constituent cases, recovering nearly $66 million . “Delivering for the families and communities I represent is my top priority,” said Congressman Kean. “Whether through Community Project Funding or constituent casework, I am committed to fighting for every available federal dollar and bringing New Jersey taxpayers’ money back home where it belongs.” Community Project Funding (CPF) is a process that allows Members of Congress to request direct funding for projects that benefit the communities they represent. This process includes robust eligibility, ethics, and transparency guidelines and is only available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as some non-profits. Additionally, only projects with evidence of strong support from the community will be considered, and evidence of this support and community need is required as part of your submission. Through the CPF process, Congressman Kean has secured nearly $39 million in federal funding for New Jersey's 7th District and continues to advocate for additional funding for projects across the district. Of the nearly $39 million secured to date, more than $15 million has been directed toward law enforcement initiatives across all six counties. Projects include $4 million for the Camp Cromwell Facility Rehabilitation in Bridgewater Township and $2.4 million for the Phillipsburg Riverfront Park Revitalization.
