#105 of 193 scored
Tom Kean Jr. is a second-term Republican from New Jersey's 7th District, a former New Jersey state senator and son of former Gov. Tom Kean, serving on Energy and Commerce and Foreign Affairs. His filings show steady, modest trading in family partnership and bank-managed accounts, including health-sector stocks, with two late filings, one self-reported. His wife holds and is paid by Greener by Design, an energy consultancy whose client benefited from an offshore-wind law he sponsored in Trenton. He missed about 22% of House votes in this Congress, almost all during a March-June 2026 absence for depression treatment. No campaign-finance or ethics complaints were found.

25% weight
28
Greederboard's parse shows 161 transactions filed Jan 2024-Sept 2026, worth roughly $0.83M-$4.0M by disclosed ranges, mostly in the Kean Family Partnership and a State Street account, with small monthly trades. Only 2 were late: a 2023 Regal Bancorp merger disposal he self-reported and a Fortive trade 4 days late. About 32 trades were in health and medical-device stocks (Stryker, J&J, Abbott, Becton Dickinson, Illumina) while he sits on Energy and Commerce's Health subcommittee. He says the assets are managed independently and he does not direct trades; New Jersey Globe noted filings do not show he ordered the trades made during his 2026 hospitalization.

Family wealth predates office (son of former Gov. Tom Kean). Summing disclosed asset ranges gives roughly $11.0M-$31.0M on his 2022 candidate report and $8.4M-$22.0M on his 2025 report (Greederboard calculation), so no growth while serving is evident. The American Prospect reported that his stake in consultancy Greener by Design rose in assessed value from $50K-$100K to $500K-$1M as a client won approval under an offshore-wind program he sponsored as a state senator; he transferred it to his wife after the 2022 election.

Correlation, not proof. PACs and other committees supplied $1.39M of his $6.02M 2023-24 receipts (23%) and $1.19M of $4.89M in 2025-26; corporate PACs (SpaceX, GM, Coinbase, Comcast, utilities, insurers) kept giving during his 2026 absence. He sits on Energy and Commerce (Health, Communications and Technology) and has opposed Medicare drug-price negotiation, citing New Jersey pharma jobs. No sourced industry breakdown or documented donor-to-action alignment was found.

Voteview records 146 missed of 674 roll calls in the 119th Congress (21.7%), far above the ~2% median. Nearly all of it is a medical absence: he last voted March 5, 2026 and returned June 30 after treatment for depression. His campaign kept raising money (just under $300K in Q2 2026) but he made no in-person campaign appearances; illness is scored as context, not as skipping work to fundraise.
