US EditionTom Kean Expected Back to Work ‘Very Soon’
His office said he is returning to a regular schedule as he misses about a month of votes in a Toss Up district.
- Representative Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., has been absent from the House since March 5, missing nearly 50 consecutive votes while attending to an unspecified personal health matter, his office confirmed.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke with Kean by phone on Thursday, during which the lawmaker explained he is dealing with an unspecified personal health matter and "expects to be back to 100 percent very soon."
- Kean represents New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, a battleground seat currently rated as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, where he faces reelection against four Democratic challengers.
- Fellow New Jersey Republicans Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew reported zero contact with Kean despite repeated attempts, fueling speculation within the GOP about his status and wellbeing.
- With Republicans holding a razor-thin House majority, Kean's continued absence complicates legislative efforts and raises questions about constituent representation during the critical midterm cycle ahead.
