First elected to the New Jersey General Assembly in 2001, he was later elected to the New Jersey Senate in 2003. In 2006, Kean ran for U.S. Senate, losing to interim senator Bob Menendez.

Kean was frequently named as a potential candidate for governor in 2017, but he did not run. He is a moderate member of the Republican Party. Kean was first elected to Congress in 2022, defeating incumbent Democrat Tom Malinowski in a rematch. He was re-elected in 2024, defeating former New Jersey Working Families Party director Sue Altman.
