Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. hasn't personally provided explanation for his absence.
Republican Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey has missed votes in the House for more than a month without personally providing his constituents with an explanation.
Kean, 57, cast his last vote on March 5. Since then, he's missed 50 roll call votes.
"I was happy to speak to Tom Kean, Jr. this afternoon by phone. He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon. Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country," Johnson said.
Noelle Berriet, Kean's congressional spokeswoman, did not reply to multiple inquiries asking about the congressman missing votes.
Harrison Neely, a strategist for Kean, told ABC News on Friday, "The congressman is dealing with a personal medical issue. He's going to be 100% fine and he's going to be back with a full schedule soon."
Neely did not share when Kean would return to Congress.
