RATINGS CHANGE: NJ-07 is a “Lean Republican”

October 8, 2024

Cook Political has officially moved NJ-07 to a “Lean Republican” race.

Democrats have been fretting about Sue Altman for over a year: “Democrats privately worry that her profile — she led protests against neighboring Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) for his moderate record — makes it harder for them to win the seat.”

It’s no wonder why: Altman’s support for defunding the policeraising taxes and boys in girls sports is radically out of step with common sense New Jersey voters.  

“Sue Altman is grasping at straws trying to hide her radical past, but New Jersey voters see her for who she is: a megaphone-touting, defund the police radical. The momentum is on common sense pragmatist Tom Kean, Jr.’s side and he will be re-elected in November.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
