Tom Kean Jr.’s Stock Trading Back in Spotlight As Congress Prepares to Hold Hearing This Week

Kean Jr. campaigned on a pledge that he would place his assets into a blind trust, but is facing scrutiny for breaking his promise

Mark your calendars: Congressman Tom Kean Jr.’s stock trading will be a major topic of discussion on Capitol Hill this week.

The House Administration Committee is preparing to hold a hearing this Wednesday on banning members of Congress like Kean Jr. from trading stocks.

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 recent reporting revealed he has broken that promise to New Jersey voters.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Tom Kean Jr. continues to profit off the stock market despite running on a promise to ban congressional stock trading, and he has failed to put his assets in a blind trust nearly three years after he pledged that he would. Now even members of his own party are holding a hearing to hold him accountable.”
