Republican State Senator Thomas Kean Jr. is challenging 7th Congressional District Representative Tom Malinowski by claiming to be the candidate who stands for “bipartisanship” and “working across the aisle”. He’s hoping to bolster this assertion by his name association with his father, the two-term New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean Sr., who did establish a reputation for moderation and civility in the 1990s.

There are two problems with Kean Jr’s claim. First, his actual policy positions during his two decades in the New Jersey legislature are a far cry from any type of moderation. Second, his support for and alliance with the divisive Donald Trump and adoption of Trump-like tactics during the election campaign have meant anything but bipartisanship, moderation or civility.

This is a dangerous moment for America, and not just because of the virus: If conservatives take full control of the Supreme Court, as expected, both Roe v. Wade and the Affordable Care Act are likely to be struck down.

Rep. Tom Malinowski has made it perfectly clear how he would respond: He will draft legislation to protect a woman’s right to choose, and to ensure health care coverage for millions – including those with pre-existing conditions.
