Después de que el gobernador Chris Christie fuera reelegido en 2013 , Christie intentó destituir a Kean como líder de la minoría, pero finalmente fracasó. [2] Kean fue mencionado con frecuencia como un posible candidato republicano a gobernador en las elecciones para gobernador de Nueva Jersey de 2017 , pero no buscó la nominación. [3] Fue el candidato republicano para el séptimo distrito del Congreso de Nueva Jersey en 2020, pero fue derrotado por estrecho margen por el actual demócrata Tom Malinowski en las elecciones generales .
Vida temprana
Kean nació en Livingston, Nueva Jersey , hijo de Deborah (de soltera Bye) [4] y Thomas Kean , un ex gobernador de Nueva Jersey. Creció en la finca de la familia en Livingston. [5] Su abuelo es Robert Kean , un ex congresista de Nueva Jersey. Su bisabuelo, Hamilton Fish Kean , y su tío tatarabuelo, John Kean , fueron ambos senadores de los Estados Unidos. La familia de su abuela son descendientes de Peter Stuyvesant , el gobernador colonial holandés de Nueva Amsterdam (ahora conocida como Nueva York ). Su bisabuela, Katharine Winthrop, era descendiente directa de John Winthrop , el primer gobernador de la colonia de la bahía de Massachusetts . También es descendiente directo de Thomas Dudley , gobernador de la colonia de la bahía de Massachusetts y signatario de los estatutos de la Universidad de Harvard . Su segundo tío abuelo fue Hamilton Fish , senador de los Estados Unidos, gobernador de Nueva York y secretario de Estado de los Estados Unidos. También es pariente de William Livingston , el primer gobernador de Nueva Jersey. [6]
Kean is a graduate of the Pingry School and Dartmouth College and holds a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he completed doctoral studies ABD in international relations.[7] At Dartmouth, he was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity. [8] He was an aide to former Congressman Bob Franks and a special assistant at the United States Environmental Protection Agency in the George H. W. Bush administration. He has also been a volunteer firefighter and a volunteer emergency medical technician. Presently, Kean resides in Westfield, New Jersey with his wife, Rhonda, and their two daughters.[9]
Campañas para la Cámara y el Senado de EE. UU.
2000
Kean sought the Republican nomination for New Jersey's 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, but lost the Republican primary to Mike Ferguson by about 4,000 votes, finishing second in a field of four candidates.[10]
2006
Kean was the Republican nominee running for the United States Senate seat vacated by former U.S. Senator and former Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine, a seat now filled by Corzine's designated replacement, Bob Menendez. Kean was the winner of the June 6, 2006, primary against conservative John P. Ginty, by a 3–1 margin.[11] He lost the general election to Menendez by a margin of 53.3% to 44.3%. The New Jersey Senate race was the narrowest victory for an incumbent Democrat in the United States in an election that saw Democrats retake control of the Senate as part of a nationwide backlash against the Bush administration.[12] Kean was endorsed by The Courier-Post, The Press of Atlantic City, and Asbury Park Press.
2020
On April 16, 2019, Kean announced that he was running for New Jersey's 7th congressional district in 2020, challenging first-term Democratic incumbent Tom Malinowski.[13] In the first quarter of 2019 Kean nearly matched Malinowski's fundraising total of over $500,000.[14] In August 2019, Kean received an endorsement from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.[15] Kean won the Republican primary over token opposition, and narrowly lost to Malinowski in the general election. It was the closest House race in New Jersey and one of the closest in the country; due to the close margin and slow counting of mail-in and provisional ballots, the outcome remained in doubt until nearly two weeks after the election.[16] He can challenge Malinowski again in 2022 after the congressional lines are redrawn using the results of the 2020 Census; Kean might still reside within the district.[17]
Asamblea de Nueva Jersey
Kean was appointed to the General Assembly, the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature, in April 2001, to fill out the unexpired term of Alan Augustine, who had resigned on March 21, 2001, due to health reasons. He was elected to a full term in the Assembly in November 2001.[18] In the Assembly, he was the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee and served as vice chairman for the State Government Committee.

2022 election
On January 11, 2021, Democrat Joseph Signorello, the mayor of Roselle Park, announced he would challenge Kean in the June 8, 2021 primary for Kean's senate seat.[19]
Tenure
In March 2003, he was appointed to the New Jersey Senate to fill out the unexpired term of Rich Bagger, and won election to that Senate seat in November 2003. In 2004, Kean was elected Senate Minority Whip, a position he held until 2007. He serves in the Senate on the Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee.[7] In the state legislature, Kean has been a proponent of ethics reform in New Jersey government. He was the original sponsor of legislation banning pay to play practices in New Jersey. He has sponsored legislation to streamline government, promote education, protect the environment, and lower property taxes. Kean was one of 24 elected officials chosen as an Aspen Rodel Fellow in Public Service.
In 2002, Kean was named one of 40 state leaders from the entire nation to be recognized as a Toll Fellow by the Council of State Governments for high achievement and service to state government.
In 2005, the New Jersey Conference of Mayors named Kean as a Legislative Leader. He has also received, for the second year in a row, the Amerigroup Foundation's Champion for Children award for his advocacy on behalf of children's health issues. He also has been named Legislator of the year by the Fireman's Benevolent Association and has received a 100% voting record with the National Federation of Independent Business.[20]
Kean was one of six Republicans in the state senate to vote for a 2019 appropriations bill which passed 31 to 6.[21]
