Early life
Kehoe was born on 1 May 1917 at Warwick, Queensland, the son of Stephen Kehoe and his wife Teresa Mary (née Flynn). He attended school at St Patrick's Convent, Christian Brothers College, Gympie and then attended the Teachers' Training College, Brisbane.[1]
He lived in Gympie where he worked as a stipendiary magistrate. He served in World War II in the 42nd Battalion in the Salamaua–Lae campaign in New Guinea from 1941 to 1945.[2]

Politics
At the 1953 election, Kehoe was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in the seat of Nash representing the Labor Party. He held the seat of Nash in the 1956 election. On 26 April 1957, he followed Queensland Premier Vince Gair when he broke away from the ALP and formed the Queensland Labor Party (QLP). However, he was defeated at the 1957 election by Allen Hodges, the Australian Country Party candidate.[4][5]
Kehoe moved to Brisbane, living in Hawthorne. In the 1960 election, Kehoe as the QLP candidate contested the seat of Hawthorne in Brisbane against the ALP candidate William Baxter but Baxter won.
