beachbum7 Joker Eager Beaver Reged: 08/05/16 Posts: 30228 New Jersey’s most vulnerable GOP incumbent is MIA. Rep. Tom Kean Jr.'s team said the absence is due to unspecified health issues. 04/24/26 09:43 PM Edit Reply Quote Rep. Tom Kean Jr. represents New Jersey’s most competitive district this November — but nobody, even his GOP colleagues, can say where he’s been for the past month. The other two Republicans in the New Jersey delegation, Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, said they have called and texted Kean out of concern for his health. But so far, neither said they have heard from him. Van Drew said it’s been “radio silence.” Several New York Republicans who have worked with Kean on key issues said similarly. Kean’s absence has largely fallen under the radar and GOP leaders haven’t addressed the issue to the conference, according to several Republicans. One Republican, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), said he didn’t even realize Kean had been missing until he tried to find him on the House floor Tuesday. “I was looking for him,” Bacon said in an interview Wednesday. “I didn’t know it was that long.” “I know the congressman and his family appreciate all of the well wishes and support,” Kean consultant Harrison Neely told POLITICO. “Please know that he will be back on a regular full schedule very soon.” https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/04/22/congress/kean-is-mia-00887934 Report Remind Me Link
