NJ-07: Republican lawmaker who's missed a month of votes dealing with 'health matter,' Johnson says
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.
As House Speaker Mike Johnson navigates a narrow majority, a Republican member's prolonged absence could impact the ability to move must-pass legislation and President Donald Trump's agenda.....
Speaker Johnson said in a statement provided to ABC News that he spoke to Kean by phone on Thursday, and that he is dealing with an unspecified "personal health matter."
