Ballotpedia survey responses

Rosalee Keech completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Keech's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Use taxpayers' $ wisely. Taxes have reached an all time high in New Jersey, legislators are spending our taxes to benefit a select few, and it's time for elected officials to put their constituents' needs in the forefront. New Jersey has a 2025 spending budget of $84+billions. From ineffective programs, road construction that lasts for decades, to funding politicians' vs constituents' priorities, it's time that we look at ways to insist that our dollars are spent wisely!
- Despite federal cuts, NJ needs to care for "NJeans". Whether it is cuts in education, Medicare, SNAP, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, healthcare, etc., NJ needs to find a way to restore those services. Rosalee will work across the aisle and within her own party to find effective solutions for all those that live within our NJ community.
- Affordability for the basics including transportation, food and homes has risen significantly. NJ.com reported that "A household in NJ must earn at least $83,173 a year, or nearly the equivalent of working nearly 3 full-time minimum wage jobs, to afford a modest 2 bedroom apartment." Whether it is creating incentives for first time buyers or renters, streamlining the construction permit process for new and renovated homes, Rosalee will work to make solutions happen.
