Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. Reports Stock Trades Amid House Absence Due to Illness

Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ) has not participated in House votes since March 5 due to an undisclosed illness, but he has certified 13 stock trades since March 10, according to financial disclosures. The latest filing, signed on May 22, indicates trades in companies including Analog Devices, First Citizens BancShares, nVent Electric, Take-Two Interactive Software, and Texas Instruments. It remains unclear whether Kean executed the trades personally or through a financial representative. Kean has stated he expects a full recovery and plans to return to Capitol Hill and the campaign trail in the coming weeks. He confirmed his intention to run for reelection in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, which is considered a competitive area for Republicans. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson noted that Kean communicated his plans to return in June. Kean’s father, former New Jersey Governor Tom Kean Sr., mentioned that his son is under medical care and is expected to recover soon.
