New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has been absent from Capitol Hill for weeks due to unspecified health issues, his team says.

He hasn't voted in the House since early March and has missed over 50 votes, but continues to post updates on social media about legislative work.

Fellow Republicans from New Jersey have expressed concern over the lack of direct communication, calling it radio silence.

A consultant for Kean says he's dealing with health issues and is expected to return to a regular schedule soon.

Kean's absence has sparked worries about the midterm elections, given his competitive district and almost flawless attendance record until earlier this year.
