Thomas Howard Kean Jr.
(; born September 5, 1968) is an American Republican politician currently serving as Minority Leader of the New Jersey Senate.
From 2001 until 2003, he was a New Jersey General Assemblyman, and represented the 21st Legislative District, which includes parts of Union, Morris, Somerset, and Essex Counties.
In 2003, he was elected a New Jersey state senator representing the same district, and in January 2008 became Minority Leader of the New Jersey Senate. After Governor Chris Christie was reelected in 2013, Christie attempted to remove Kean as Minority Leader, but ultimately failed.
Kean was frequently mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for governor in the 2017 New Jersey gubernatorial election, but did not seek the nomination.
Kean announced in April 2019 that he would be running in 2020 for New Jersey's 7th congressional district, against first-term incumbent Democrat Tom Malinowski.
