The Issue ↗ (opens seankirrane.com/platform at this heading)
New Jersey families are being crushed by the highest property taxes in America while sending more money to Washington than we get back.
Sean's Solution ↗ (opens seankirrane.com/platform at this heading)
- ▶Restoring the full SALT deduction
- ▶Bringing New Jersey's fair share back from Washington
- ▶Reforming federal policies that drive up local property taxes
- ▶Eliminating taxes on retirement income so seniors can afford to stay in New Jersey
- ▶Capping administrative waste in federal programs at 10% and requiring annual audits
Result: Lower property taxes, more money in your pocket, and a system that stops penalizing success.

The Issue ↗ (opens seankirrane.com/platform at this heading)
Rising interest rates and corporate home buying are pricing families out of homeownership.
Sean's Solution ↗ (opens seankirrane.com/platform at this heading)
Sean authored the American Citizens' Primary Residence Mortgage Act, a targeted plan to restore affordability:
- ▶Provides temporary federal interest relief during high rate periods
- ▶Expands access through 30 and 40 year fixed mortgage options while allowing homeowners to move without being trapped by higher rate environments
- ▶Encourages downsizing to free up larger family homes for younger buyers, helping restart the natural housing cycle
- ▶Prioritizes American families not investors or foreign buyers by funding relief through taxes on speculative and foreign real estate purchases
Result: Lower monthly payments, more first-time buyers, increased housing inventory, and a housing market that works for families—not corporations.

These are leaders who have consistently stood up for taxpayers and defended the interests of their communities. Their endorsement is another sign that Republicans across Passaic County and the Fifth District are coming together behind a campaign focused on results, unity, and winning in November.”

The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($7,144) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

All 177 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
11 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $6,440 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
