New Jersey Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. hasn't voted in the House since March 5 and has missed roughly 50 roll calls, with even fellow Republican colleagues unable to reach him despite attempts to call and text — his team cited unspecified health issues. The disappearance has concerned fellow GOP members, including other New Jersey Republicans who say they have no explanation for his prolonged absence. This raises questions about congressional oversight of member welfare and whether extended absences from voting should trigger formal inquiries or temporary seat vacancy procedures.
