Congressman Tom Kean Jr. Set to Miss 100th Vote

Since Kean Jr. was last seen publicly:

• Drake dropped three albums
• Four astronauts traveled to the moon for the first time in 50+ years
• An entire March Madness happened (congrats, Michigan) 
• Kean Jr. bought and sold multiple stocks while missing votes
• Kean Sr. (his dad) told NJ.com “I think” when asked if his son is running for reelection
• Multiple local Republicans have been floated as replacements for Kean Jr., including state Sen. Doug Steinhardt, state Assemblyman Erik Peterson, and state Sen. John Bramnick

A statewide editorial board yesterday called on Kean Jr. to provide answers to his constituents, slamming his “troubling lack of transparency” and saying he has handled the situation “about as poorly as possible.” 

And NBC News reports today that “some of Kean’s constituents believe Kean has a duty to be more transparent about his condition and when he expects to be back.” They add that “Republicans are growing anxious about whether he’s up to the task of running” for reelection.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Where in the world is Tom Kean Jr.? His lack of transparency, disrespect for his constituents, and refusal to do the job he was elected to do is disqualifying. Democrats will flip this seat in November and ensure New Jersey families have a representative who will actually fight for them.”
