Washington — Rep. Tom Kean Jr., Republican representative for New Jersey’s 7th District, said Monday that his absence from the House since early March stems from a personal medical issue; he last cast a recorded vote on March 5 and said doctors expect a full recovery and a forthcoming return to a full schedule. Kean’s office stated staff continued constituent services during his absence, and Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed contact with the congressman this week; Kean is running for reelection in a competitive swing district, and his announced plan to resume duties soon would help restore an expected vote in a narrowly divided chamber once he reaches full health.
