New Jersey Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. is set to return to Congress on June 30, following a monthslong absence due to an unspecified medical issue. A political consultant to the congressman confirmed the return date, stating that Kean is eager to resume a full schedule.
Background
Kean, who represents a battleground district in this year’s midterms, has missed over 100 votes and hasn’t been spotted in Washington or his district. His office has said he is still running for reelection and is set to face Democratic Navy veteran Rebecca Bennett in the state’s premier contest in November.
Kean comes from a long line of public servants, with his great-grandfather being a senator, his grandfather a congressman, and his father the former two-term governor, Tom Kean Sr.
