Tomasz "Tom" P. Malinowski (/ˌmælɪˈnsk/; born September 23, 1965)[1] is an American politician and diplomat who was the U.S. representative from New Jersey's 7th congressional district from 2019 to 2023. A Democrat, he served as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the Obama administration.

A vocal opponent of Donald Trump, Malinowski was first elected in 2018, defeating Republican incumbent Leonard Lance by five points.[2][3] He was reelected in 2020 by a narrower margin against New Jersey State Senate's Minority Leader, Thomas Kean Jr.[4] In a 2022 rematch, Kean defeated Malinowski.

On April 26, 2024, Malinowski announced that he would run for the Hunterdon County Democratic Chair post.[5] On June 23, 2024, Malinowski was elected as Chair of the Hunterdon County Democratic party, succeeding Arlene Quinones Perez.[6]
