I am relieved that Congressman Tom Kean Jr. is well and continue to wish him good health.
But let’s be clear: I got into this race because Tom Kean Jr. was failing our community long before this absence. He was the deciding vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill, which jacked up health care costs for everyone and kicked thousands off of their health insurance in our district. He has consistently failed to stand up for our communities, including when funding for the Gateway project was threatened. And he voted in favor of a reckless war that has made everything more expensive for New Jersey families.
Yet Tom Kean Jr. still somehow found time to trade stocks while missing votes. This is the self-serving culture in Washington that New Jerseyans are rejecting, and the kind of behavior they are sick and tired of from career politicians.
I spent my life serving this country in uniform, and I’m ready to serve our district in Congress. It’s time we hold Tom Kean Jr. accountable for his record and bring a new generation of leadership to Washington.
I wish Congressman Kean continued progress in his battle against depression. I come from a family with a history of depression and have seen my loved ones struggle.
I believe every person should have access to mental health support, including paid time off and sick leave.
Congressman Kean has opposed these very benefits for all workers that Members of Congress get. It’s time for that to change.
It is a genuine service for a politician to speak openly about depression in this way.
It does not justify failing to explain the absence earlier.
And it's a travesty that when he resurfaced he wasn't rocking a magnificent new pair of ta-tas. That was the resolution we deserved.
@CahnEmily it's always wildly unfair and hypocritical to take 116 paid days off but continuously vote against paid family medical leave and universal healthcare.
Rep. Tom Kean Jr. returned to the House floor to address his absence, saying he has been dealing with depression. Kean has missed 142 consecutive votes.
absolutely fascinating that Tom Kean took 116 days off for depression but has repeatedly voted against paid family leave and universal healthcare for the rest of us. benefits for me, not for thee. vote him out.
The whereabouts of Representative Tom Kean, Jr. remain a mystery; the New Jersey Republican has remained absent from Capitol Hill for months as he deals with an undisclosed health issue. But in recent days, Kean has shown signs of life, with the congressman making calls to Republican officials and colleagues and even signing off on some financial transactions.
NOTUS reports that Kean electronically signed a congressional stock transaction form on Friday, certifying that he made five trades in April. News of Kean’s active trading comes as the congressman has begun outreach to the media and key allies while still remaining out of sight.
