REPORT: “Constituent” in ad falsely attacking Tom Kean, Jr. is a Dem activist
A bombshell new report exposes that the “constituent” attacking Tom Kean, Jr. in a recent ad over his vote to PROTECT Medicaid, is actually a “longtime Democrat activist with a history of fearmongering about alleged Republican Medicaid cuts.”
This misleading ad wasn’t “Theresa’s” first rodeo: This Dem activist has spoken at rallies for far-left California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna, radical Senator Cory Booker, a left-wing ACLU town hall, and she’s penned op-eds, and she used each opportunity to peddle the same tired lies about Medicaid.
“Inflammatory and false ads like this one make it blatantly obvious that Democrats have nothing but lies. Tom Kean, Jr. is fighting every day to protect vital programs like Medicaid for those who need it, and voters aren’t deceived by Democrats’ pathetic spin.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

Exclusive: Ad Portrays Democrat Activist As Normal New Jersey Voter, Lies About Trump’s Medicaid Reforms

Democrats’ message about Republican reforms to protect Medicaid is full of lies, and now so is their chosen messenger.
The left-leaning activist organization “Unrig Our Economy”, which supports higher taxes and greater government control of health care, put $200,000 behind an ad attacking Republican Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ) for his vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

The ad portrays “Theresa” as a normal New Jersey voter concerned about her children’s future. But in reality she is Theresa Grimm Luoni, a longtime Democrat activist with a history of fearmongering about alleged Republican Medicaid cuts.
In May 2025, Luoni spoke at an ACLU New Jersey Virtual Town Hall, publicizing the event in a Facebook post with language mirroring her script in the “Unrig Our Economy” ad.

The activist spoke at a rally for Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) in April in Whitehouse Station, NJ. “Honored to be speaking at this event, highlighting the real and lasting impact of the cuts to Medicaid,” she posted on Facebook. “These changes aren’t just numbers on a budget — they affect real people, families, and communities. I’m grateful for the chance to amplify voices that too often go unheard and to stand with those fighting for access to healthcare as a human right.”
Just days before, Luoni spoke at a town hall for Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ). “I invite everyone who shares my passion for empowering human dignity and human rights to join forces, as we collectively craft a brighter future where every voice resonates and is cherished,” she posted on Facebook ahead of her speech.
In a June 2025 op-ed, she wrote that lawmakers who talk about “cutting costs” by cutting Medicaid are “committing a massacre on the most vulnerable citizens” to “fund tax breaks for billionaires.”

The National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) struck back at Democrats for their deceptive messaging on the one big, beautiful bill.
“Democrats have nothing but lies, and this inflammatory ad puts it on full display,” NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole told Breitbart News. “Rep Tom Kean Jr. voted to protect and preserve Medicaid for vulnerable communities, and Democrats’ desperate fearmongering does nothing to change that.”
