New Jersey state Sen. Tom Kean Jr., a Republican, fell 5,329 votes short—less than 1 percentage point—of unseating Democrat Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) in their 2020 New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District race.

Kean, the son of former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean Sr., also a Republican, earned a 2022 midterm rematch with Malinowski on June 7, when he defeated six rivals in the district’s Republican primary.
