Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey is set to return to the House on June 30, ending his three-month absence from Capitol Hill. According to a spokesperson, Kean will be fully transparent about his medical condition upon his return.
Kean’s Absence
Kean last cast a vote in the House on March 5 and hasn’t been seen in Washington since. The congressman said in late April that he was dealing with a personal medical issue, but neither he nor his office has specified what the issue is.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that he was aware of Kean’s health issue and would respect Kean’s request not to disclose the details of his condition or what caused his absence. Johnson said Kean is in good spirits and under the care of healthcare providers.
Kean’s office has maintained that his aides have continued to serve New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District uninterrupted throughout his absence. Kean’s social media accounts have issued posts celebrating holidays, honoring constituents, touting federal funding secured for his district, and even announcing Kean’s membership in the Congressional Crypto Caucus.
