“Congressman Kean is eager to return to in-person work on June 30 and resume a full schedule,” Harrison Neely, Kean’s spokesperson, told NOTUS.
Kean has not been seen in Washington since early March, missing over 100 votes in the House. Shortly before securing the Republican nomination to run for re-election in November, for which he ran uncontested, the congressman said he was “focused on recovery” and would return to in person work “in a matter of weeks. At that time I will be completely transparent as to the nature of my medical condition.”

Neely said that Kean plans to reveal what his medical condition is on June 30. The congressman told the New Jersey Globe in May that the medical issue did impact his cognitive health.
Despite the mystery around Kean’s disappearance, his team has been operating as if it’s business as usual: The congressman has introduced legislation, he seemingly approved staff trips in April, he traded stocks in March, and his social media accounts have made posts written in first-person.
