Kean vows full recovery as medical absence extends from Congress
Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has missed more than 50 roll-call votes over a month due to an unspecified medical issue and will miss additional votes this week; doctors say the recovery will be complete and he plans to return to a full schedule soon. His absence affects House actions on a surveillance-law reauthorization and DHS funding, but his staff and campaign continue operating, with Kean not detailing the illness or timeline beyond the recovery outlook.
