DCCC Launches First Ad Against Tom Kean Over 3-Month House Absence and Stock Trades

Summary
Three months after Rep. Tom Kean last voted in the House, the DCCC is launching its first general election attack ad accusing the New Jersey Republican of trading stocks while missing votes in Washington.
The ad was shared first with Bloomberg Government and is timed to spotlight Kean's prolonged absence as Democrats begin framing the race around his conduct in office.
Tuesday, Kean said on social media that he expects to return to in-person work in a "matter of weeks" after dealing with an unspecified health issue.
The opening salvo signals Democrats plan to make Kean's absence and personal trading activity an early line of attack in the 2026 campaign.
