Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) will return to Congress on June 30 after months of unexplained absences, according to his spokesperson Harrison Neely.
Neely revealed, "the 57-year-old lawmaker plans to attend the June 30 House session," according to Politico.
Kean's office attributed his extended disappearance to an undisclosed health issue but provided no details despite repeated promises of an imminent return.
GOP leaders on Capitol Hill remained in the dark about his absence, and reporters visiting his home found neighbors equally mystified.
Neely pledged Kean "plans to be fully transparent regarding the nature of his health issue" during his in-person appearance. The Congressman's prolonged unexplained absence and vague health claims have raised questions among constituents and colleagues about his fitness to serve.
The 57-year-old congressman faces a competitive re-election battle against Democrat Rebecca Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot and Air National Guard officer.
