WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced its endorsement of Jason Blazakis for New Jersey’s Seventh Congressional District. Jason launched his campaign over the summer to challenge GOP Freshman Rep. Tom Kean in this battleground district and flip this seat blue. As a senior counterterrorism and economics sanctions expert who has defended American interests at home and abroad, Jason is the candidate best suited to challenge Rep. Kean and flip this district blue. At this unique moment in America’s history, Jason’s extensive experience in the national security space makes him uniquely qualified to meet the moment and serve as a Member of Congress as the world is witnessing wars in Ukraine and Israel.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of the American people and if elected, there’s no doubt Jason will work tirelessly to safeguard the security of our country and his constituents,” said NewDem Chair Annie Kuster. “More than ever, we need his expertise in the House. While Republicans are holding up critical aid to our allies who desperately need support in their fights for freedom and democracy, we need more Members like Jason who have the knowledge, experience, and wisdom to meet this moment. NewDems look forward to working with Jason to win this key primary and flip this seat blue in 2024.”
“I’m honored to receive this endorsement from NewDem Action Fund,” said Jason Blazakis (NJ-07). “Voters in New Jersey and across the country are looking for fresh leadership in Congress that will fight for them and their families. New Jerseyans deserve a Representative who will fight for our democracy, the right to reproductive freedom, quality healthcare and lower costs. I look forward to building a strong coalition with New Dems and defeating Tom Kean Jr. in November.”
