Former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, a Republican who has largely avoided politics for years, has endorsed Jack Ciattarelli for governor, saying New Jersey<\/a> “needs a change” and describing the GOP nominee as a “compassionate” and “decent” leader he\u2019s known for decades.<\/p>\n

Kean served as New Jersey\u2019s 48th governor from 1982 to 1990 and came from a family that produced generations of American political leaders, including William Livingston, the state\u2019s first constitutional governor, according to the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.<\/p>\n

Kean announced his endorsement Monday on social media, urging voters to back Ciattarelli in Tuesday\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t been involved in partisan politics for a number of years, but this year is different,” Kean said in a video shared by Ciattarelli on X. “New Jersey needs a change<\/a> and needs a change badly. Jack Ciattarelli is that change.”<\/p>\n

In the video, Kean praised Ciattarelli\u2019s character and work ethic.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a lot to do in New Jersey,” he continued. “I’ve known Jack for 25 years. He’s compassionate, he’s decent, he works hard, and he’d be a great Governor for New Jersey.”<\/p>\n

The GOP nominee has narrowed the gap with Democratic rival Rep. Mikie Sherrill in a highly competitive race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his post Monday, Ciattarelli said Kean set the standard for effective leadership.<\/p>\n

“Now it\u2019s our turn to bring that kind of government back,” he said. “Let\u2019s get out and vote for real change<\/a>, real results, and a brighter future for New Jersey.”<\/p>\n

Before becoming governor, Kean served in the New Jersey Assembly, where he became the youngest speaker in state history. As governor<\/a>, he pushed major education reforms, strengthened environmental protections, and promoted the slogan “New Jersey and You: Perfect Together.”<\/p>\n

He won re-election in 1985 with nearly 70% of the vote, one of the largest margins in state history. After leaving office, he became president of Drew University, where he oversaw significant growth in funding and facilities.<\/p>\n

Later in his career, then-President George W. Bush<\/a> appointed Kean in 2002 to chair the 9\/11 Commission. His bipartisan leadership on the panel elevated him to national prominence and cemented his reputation as one of New Jersey\u2019s most respected public figures.<\/p>\n

New Jersey and Virginia<\/a> are the only states that hold gubernatorial elections the year after a presidential race, contests that often draw national attention as early tests of voter sentiment ahead of the midterms.<\/p>\n
