“The Republican, 57, hasn’t voted since March 5 due to a “personal medical issue.””
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm that Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has been absent from Congress since March 5 due to a 'personal medical issue.' Wikipedia confirms his birth date as September 5, 1968, which makes him 55 or 56 depending on the current date, but the specific claim about the voting absence and medical issue is reported across multiple news-style search results.
