Summary
June 30 will mark Tom Kean Jr.’s return to public view, and he plans to hold a fundraiser the same day after missing House votes for 112 days.
Kean, 57, last voted on March 5; his office said March 20 that he was dealing with a personal health matter and has offered few details since, though aides say he will explain more on his return.
The fundraiser comes as Kean tries to recover politically and financially after Democrat Rebecca Bennett outraised him by more than $100,000 in the April-early May period.
Democrats have largely avoided attacking his health directly, but an allied outside group has run ads on his missed votes, and the DCCC is now using the fundraiser to press transparency and accountability criticisms.
