"Kean's office later issued a statement, saying the congressman is dealing with an unspecified personal medical issue. The congressman has yet to return to the House. Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House, where so far, four Democratic members have died this term. Reps. David Scott (GA), Sylvester Turner (D-TX), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), and Gerry Connolly (D-VA) all died during the 119th Congress."
Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida has not voted in the House of Representatives since April 17, missing all 10 House votes on Wednesday and reaching 43 consecutive missed votes. A reporter noted that Wilson’s X account posted photos of a Service Academy Day this week, but similar images from the same event had appeared last October. Wilson’s post said she was proud to host the Service Academy Day at FIU, implying the event occurred that day or recently rather than eight months earlier. Wilson is not the only member with prolonged absences. Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has been missing since March, with his office citing an unspecified personal medical issue. Republicans hold a narrow House majority amid multiple Democratic deaths during the 119th Congress.
