Thomas Kean Jr., currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 7th district, shared several updates through his social media platform on various developments and incidents impacting his constituents and beyond.
On June 2, 2025, Congressman Kean provided an update regarding infrastructure advancements in the region. He stated “I toured the in-river construction site of the Hudson River Tunnel Project—located between New York and New Jersey—which will provide critical structural support to the new tunnels. As part of the Gateway Program, this project will expand capacity and improve reliability along”. This initiative is a significant component of the broader Gateway Program aimed at enhancing transportation links between New York and New Jersey.
The following day, on June 3, 2025, Kean addressed a serious incident involving violence against a minority group. He expressed strong condemnation by stating “The antisemitic terror attack in Boulder is vile.” He elaborated that “A Holocaust survivor and others were attacked with Molotov cocktails for simply marching peacefully in support of innocent hostages.” Emphasizing the broader implications of such acts, he remarked that “Targeting Jews and pro-Israel demonstrators with violence is an attack on all of our freedoms.”
Later that same day, Kean shared positive news about transportation improvements affecting residents of his district. He announced “Great news for New Jerseyans flying through Newark Airport: The reopening of one of their rehabilitated runways means more flights in and out, fewer delays, and a smoother travel experience for passengers “. This development promises to enhance efficiency and reduce travel disruptions for those using this major transport hub.

Before joining Congress, he held positions within both the New Jersey General Assembly from 2001 to 2003 and the New Jersey Senate from 2008 to 2022.
