Kean Return Date

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., a New Jersey Republican who has been absent from Congress since March because of an unspecified medical issue, is expected to return to in-person work on June 30. His spokesperson Harrison Neely said Kean is eager to resume a full schedule, while other aides confirmed the planned return date after months of uncertainty. Kean has missed more than 100 votes, with Politico putting his absence at 117 days since his last vote on March 5, and his office has not disclosed details about the illness. The prolonged absence has drawn scrutiny because Kean represents a competitive New Jersey district and had not been seen in Washington or his district for months.
