Assemblyman Sean T. Kean

Sean T. Kean (born May 21, 1963) is an American Republican Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey General Assembly since 2002, where he represents the 11th legislative district. He has been the Assistant Republican Whip since 2004. Kean serves in the Assembly on the Family, Women and Children's Services and the Senior Issues Committees.

Kean took his seat in the Assembly on October 28, 2002 following his selection by the District 11 Republican County Committee members to fill the vacancy created by the death of Assemblyman Thomas Smith. The Assemblyman served as an aide to Senator John O. Bennett from 1994 through 1996.

Assemblyman Kean served on the Wall Township Planning Board from 2001-2002 and on the Monmouth County Environmental Council from 1999-2001.

Kean grew up in Deal and attended Red Bank Catholic High School. Kean received a B.A. from Seton Hall University in Political Science, was granted an M.A.L.S. from Columbia University in American Studies and was awarded a J.D. from the Seton Hall University School of Law.

Kean writes a column titled "Legislative Matters" in the The Coast Star, a weekly local newspaper in Monmouth County. His column typically contains news from the statehouse in Trenton, opinions on issues facing his district, and criticism of the currently governing Democratic Party.
