1 articles · Updated · Forbes · May 26

Five stock trades made between April 14 and May 17 were disclosed Friday by Rep. Thomas Kean, the second such filing in two months during his extended absence from Congress.
More than 100 votes have gone uncast since Kean last voted on March 5, while the New Jersey Republican has cited a personal health matter and offered few public details.
Kean told the New Jersey Globe his doctors expect a full recovery and said he plans to return to voting and campaigning within the next couple of weeks.
Public uncertainty has deepened as Kean has not been photographed for weeks, canceled appearances, and neighbors told NOTUS his Westfield home appeared unoccupied before the missed votes began.
The absence carries political risk in a competitive district Kean flipped in 2022 and held by 6 points in 2024, a seat Democrats are targeting again.
