Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) is expected to return to Capitol Hill on June 30 after a months-long absence, according to a spokesperson. Kean's disappearance, lasting over 100 days, has drawn national attention as he seeks re-election in a competitive district. In April, Kean stated he was addressing a 'personal medical issue,' but further details have not been disclosed. His spokesperson, Harrison Neely, indicated that Kean is eager to resume in-person work and will provide transparency regarding his health issue upon his return. Speaker Mike Johnson mentioned he has been in contact with Kean but respects his request for privacy regarding the matter. Kean's return may be brief, as the House is scheduled for a week-long recess starting July 4, just two days after his expected return.
