Rep. Tom Kean Jr. set to return to Capitol Hill June 30

Representative Tom Kean Jr., a Republican from New Jersey, is expected to return to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, June 30, after a nearly four-month absence due to an undisclosed medical issue. The congressman, who last voted on March 5, has missed more than 140 votes during his time away.

Kean’s office announced earlier this month that he would resume his duties on June 30 and promised full transparency regarding his health. A spokesperson said the lawmaker is eager to return to in-person work and will address the matter directly. As of Tuesday morning, however, reporters gathered outside his Capitol Hill office had not yet seen him arrive.

The 57-year-old lawmaker was first spotted back at his home in Westfield, New Jersey, last week. When approached by a reporter, Kean said he would provide information this week but declined to comment further at the time. A person familiar with his plans said Kean intends to deliver a floor speech addressing his health.

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that he is aware of the medical condition but is respecting Kean’s request to keep it private. Johnson described the situation as a personal health matter and said Kean is in good spirits.
