‘Missing’ GOP Congressman Breaks Silence After Months Away From DC

“I anticipate that in the next couple of weeks, I’ll return to voting and to the campaign trail,” Kean told the outlet, adding that doctors do not expect any long-term complications.

His father, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean Sr. , had previously attempted to reassure the public by saying his son was under medical supervision and expected to recover fully.

Still, the extended silence surrounding the congressman’s condition became politically problematic for Republicans at a time when every vote in the House has carried enormous significance

Kean represents New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, one of the most closely watched swing districts in the country.
