Thomas Howard Kean Jr. ( born September 5, 1968) is an American Republican politician. 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, and has served in the position until retiring from the Senate in 2022.

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. He was the Republican nominee for New Jersey’s 7th congressional district in 2020, narrowly losing to incumbent Democrat Tom Malinowski in the general election. Kean is the Republican nominee for the 7th district again in 2022, where he will have a general election rematch with Malinowski.
