A New Jersey congressman is set to return to Capitol Hill after a three-month absence from Washington.
Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. is expected to address lawmakers today and discuss the unspecified medical condition that kept him away from Congress.
Kean's last recorded vote in the House was March 5. Since then, he has missed 100 votes while providing few public details about his health.
His return comes as he campaigns for a third term in Congress. Kean is expected to face Democratic challenger Rebecca Bennett in November's general election.
The lengthy absence has sparked questions about whether voters deserve a more detailed explanation and how the issue could impact the race.
Political analyst Micah Rasmussen of Rider University's Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics joined News 12 to discuss whether Kean owes constituents more information and what his return could mean for the election.
