Rep. Tom Kean — the New Jersey Republican who has for months eluded reporters, his neighbors and the speaker of the House alike, citing a mysterious medical condition — was spotted at his home in New Jersey on Wednesday, The New York Times reported.

Kean, dressed in a suit and tie, briefly spoke to a reporter but declined to answer questions. His aides said last week that he will return to Congress, where he has missed more than 100 votes since March, on June 30. It is unclear whether Kean will address his medical condition that day if the House leaves Washington early for recess.

Representatives for Kean did not immediately respond to NOTUS’ request for comment on Thursday.
