Hi! My name is Jim Keady and I am running for Congress in NJ’s #FightingFourth District (Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer Counties).
Today on another diary I wrote, I had someone comment about the pictures I posted and how they helped people get a better understanding of who I am. I am going to use this post to tell some of my personal (his)story in pictures. I hope you enjoy them. If you have questions, post them below.
Here are the links to my website and social media.
