Missing Republican to Return With Greedy First Move

A GOP congressman who vanished for more than 100 days is set to make a money grab as one of his first priorities upon his return.

Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who has been missing from Congress for months, is set to return at the end of June, and one of his first moves will be a fundraiser.

The last time the New Jersey congressman cast a vote in the House was on March 5, before he vanished from public view, with a mysterious health condition.

The 57-year-old is set to return for the House session on June 30 next week. It’s the first return date his office has provided since his absence began more than 100 days ago.

But according to an invitation shared with Politico, the GOP lawmaker’s near first order of business will be attending a fundraiser for his re-election. The reception supporting his re-election bid is scheduled for the evening of June 30.
