NEW JERSEY — U.S. Rep. Tom Kean Jr. said he is addressing a personal medical issue and expects to make a full recovery, according to a statement released to constituents.
Kean did not provide details about the condition but said he plans to return to a full schedule.
“I want to thank my constituents and colleagues for their patience as I address a personal medical issue. My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon. I expect to return to a full schedule and be at 100 percent.
I take my responsibilities seriously and have a strong record of showing up and delivering, which makes this absence all the more difficult. I am especially proud of my Congressional team, who have kept constituent services and legislative work moving forward without interruption, and my political team for ensuring the campaign continues to run strong.
I also want to thank my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their patience and understanding during this time. I appreciate your support and look forward to being back in the near future.”
Kean said his congressional staff has continued to provide services and maintain legislative work during his absence.
