Summary
June 30 is the first specific return date given for Rep. Thomas Kean Jr., ending more than three months of uncertainty over his absence from Congress since early March.
135 floor votes have been missed since March 5, and spokesman Harrison Neely said Kean will explain the medical condition behind that absence when he returns in person.
Kean, a 57-year-old New Jersey Republican, has offered little public information so far, frustrating even some GOP allies who want him back in view.
New Jersey's 7th District race against Democrat Rebecca Bennett could help shape the House balance in November, leaving open when Kean will resume campaigning.
