NJ-07: Vanished Republican Resurfaces With Cryptic Message
A Republican congressman who has been out of commission on a mysterious medical leave since March has made his first public statement in a month.
New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who represents the Garden State’s seventh legislative district, gave an update on his hiatus to the New Jersey Globe on Thursday, but did not clarify the health issue that’s kept him sidelined for over 75 days.
“My doctors are confident that I’m on the road to a full recovery,” Kean, 57, told the newspaper during a telephone interview, the first since his illness. “I understand the need for public transparency, and I appreciate the support of my constituents.”
The congressman said that his prognosis is positive, signaling no long-term health complications, and that his medical issue would not impact his cognitive ability.
