Posted this to NJ Congressman Tom Kean's webpage. Because he provides no means for the public to state what's on their mind, I did so through the "Website Problems" form.

Seemed a reasonable way to make my point.
I noticed some problems on your website (https://kean.house.gov/). These issues are plainly visible, and could cause embarrassment. 1. I cannot find the page where NJ residents can call your attention to matters that concern to us. The Contact menu allows me only to sign up for your newsletter, to see your office addresses, to request a local appearance, or to report these website problems. I have to imagine your earnest intent to keep a close ear to the concerns of NJ voters would reify into a "Your Thoughts" or "Voter Concerns" page on this site. That page is either broken or missing. 2. Your "Issues" menu links to nine pages of your core focal points (Economy, Education, Immigration, Health, etc.) but seems to be missing the tenth page where you explain how you are forcefully pushing back on the totalitarian impulses of the current White House administration and decrying the scores of ways that President Trump and D.O.G.E. are shredding the administrative connective tissue and public trust that provide for our democracy. You see as clearly as I that the trajectory of these activities leads to a Putin-esque dictatorial regime that favors the few over the many, the oligarchs over the masses -- 9.5 million of whom now look to you for your full-throated opposition to precisely this. Please restore this missing tenth "Issues" link (which I presume you positioned at the top), so we can follow your own courageous efforts to counter and challenge this erosion of the democracy that elected you. 3. The Search function lists only eleven pages when searching for "trump." Of those, only two regard events in 2025. You are surely aware that Trump has done rather *more* than two things in 2025 -- many quite unprecedented in US history, and many prompting words like "impeachment" and "constitutional crisis" with a troubling regularity. I trust you have spoken out with passion and conviction in opposition to these, but I cannot find any using Search. - Tom

Thank you for your measured and eloquent take down of the theatrical Republicans who prioritized renaming the Gulf of Mexico over dozens of other issues of actual merit (e.g., the tariff impacts on household costs, the demolition of critical services by DOGE).
