NJ-07: Kean still missing votes due to unspecified medical issue

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-Westfield) has missed a month’s worth of votes on Capitol Hill due to a medical issue, and his office has not said what the issue is or when he’s likely to be back.

Harrison Neely, a spokesperson for Kean, told the New Jersey Globe that the two-term congressman is “dealing with a personal medical issue that prevents him from casting votes this week.”

“He’s expected to be totally fine and back to a full schedule soon,” Neely said.

Kean first began missing votes the week of March 16; when asked about it at the time, his office similarly said that he was addressing a “personal health matter” and would be returning to a regular schedule “soon.”
