"“I want to thank my constituents and colleagues for their patience as I address a personal medical issue,” he wrote. “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.”"
"“He's hopefully coming back soon and he's under the care of a doctor,” the elder Kean told the outlet. “They all agree he's going to be fine. He's under a doctor's care.”"
"Kean's father told CNN he wouldn't go into detail about his son's illness but indicated this was only a temporary setback. “It took a real illness to knock him out,” Kean Sr. said. “This won't linger. It's not some kind of disease that's going to incapacitate him in the future. The consensus is that he will be 100 percent okay.”"
Representative Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey has not returned to Capitol Hill since last voting on March 5. He confirmed on April 27 that he was dealing with a personal medical issue and expected a complete recovery, returning to a full schedule at 100 percent, though no specific date was provided. Kean’s father, Tom Kean Sr., said Kean is receiving medical care and has been seen by several doctors, with assurances that he will be fine. He described the situation as a temporary setback and said it will not linger or become a long-term incapacitating disease. The absence has continued to raise questions as new reports emerge about his condition and staff activity.
