| Questions continue to mount about Congressman Tom Kean Jr.’s whereabouts and why he has continued stock trading while missing votes.
NJ Spotlight News spoke about how Kean Jr. “has been filing stock trades during this period of time” on their latest “Hey, NJ” podcast.
NJ Spotlight reporter Ben Hulac: “There’s another element here which is: who’s actually running the office? […] When Kean is away, who is signing onto bills? Also, he has been filing stock trades during this period of time. So, his stock account appears to be active. These are all things that are publicly disclosed. The House clerk keeps a tally of members’ stock activities. But is that his broker, is that him? It’s all very mysterious.”
Reporting from NOTUS revealed that “Kean bought and sold shares of eight different stocks between March 10 and March 31” and that, notably, “Kean personally certified the disclosure, affixing his digital signature to the document on April 13.”Reminder: Kean Jr. campaigned on a promise to ban congressional stock trading and place his millions of dollars in assets into a blind trust. But reporting revealed he has broken that promise to New Jersey voters.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“New Jersey voters deserve to know where Congressman Kean Jr. is and why he continues to play the stock market while in office.”
