Joe Biden Endorses Congressman Tom Malinowski

NEW JERSEY — Democratic Presidential Nominee Vice President Joe Biden endorsed District 7 Congressman Tom Malinowski for re-election Monday.

"Tom Malinowski worked across the aisle on New Jersey priorities like protecting health care, advancing the Gateway Tunnel and pushing the House to fix the Administration’s reckless tax agenda that capped SALT deductions and raised taxes on New Jerseyans across the 7th district," Biden said. "I'm endorsing Tom Malinowski for Congress because I know he’ll continue to deliver results for New Jersey families."

Malinowski said he was "humbled to receive his endorsement."

"I was proud to work alongside Joe Biden during my time in the Obama Administration, and I look forward to working with the Biden Administration next year," Malinowski said.

Malinowski served with Biden in the Obama Administration as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

Malinwoski is running for re-election for District 7 Congressman against Republican Tom Kean Jr. District 7 covers parts of Somerset, Union, Morris, Essex and Warren counties and all of Hunterdon County.
