Thomas H. Kean

Overview

Thomas H. Kean is a Republican Representative from New Jersey serving in the U.S. House. His voting record and ideology score indicate he occupies a moderate position within his party, often positioning himself closer to the political center than many fellow Republicans. Based on limited voting data, Representative Kean has shown support for budget and defense measures while taking a more mixed approach on healthcare legislation. His 73% 'yea' rate on healthcare votes suggests engagement with healthcare policy, though the specific nature of these votes would require further examination. Kean's procedural votes generally align with his party on matters like ordering the previous question and agreeing to resolutions, which is typical for members regardless of their ideological positioning within their party. His 'nay' vote on a motion to recommit in September 2023 indicates he opposed sending legislation back to committee for revisions on that occasion.
