Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) will cast his first vote in the House in four months on Tuesday, returning from a prolonged absence after he was diagnosed with depression.

“Several months ago, due to health concerns, I entered the hospital for some testing,” Kean said during a floor speech marking his return. “I did not believe that this would result in a long-term stay. I was given the diagnosis of depression.”
