It seems that Rep. Tom Kean Jr. may soon return to public life after more than 100 days. The two-term Republican, who represents New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, has not been in Washington, DC, since early March. In a statement, Harrison Neely, a consultant for the congressman, said Kean is “eager to return to in-person work on June 30 and resume a full schedule.”
