“It’s in his interest to be as transparent as he can be with the public,” Mr. Farmer added on Sunday after learning that Mr. Kean had begun to re-engage state party leaders.

The blitz of recent calls to Republican officials reflected a shift in strategy. Even before his abrupt disappearance earlier this year, Mr. Kean had been known to zealously safeguard his privacy and, in some instances, resist pressure to subject himself to questioning.

Years ago, when he and his wife bought a beach house in Bay Head, N.J., they chose to shield the purchase behind a limited liability corporation with a unique name: Rendezvous LLC. In 2024, while running for re-election, Mr. Kean was recorded on Capitol Hill awkwardly refusing to acknowledge a reporter’s questions, much less answer them.

Last year, constituents grew so fed up with his decision not to hold in-person town hall events that they held regular gatherings near his office in Bernardsville that became known as “finding Kean Fridays.” (He eventually relocated the office to a corporate park in a more remote area of the state.)

Pretty strange, no?

1. Too bad I'm no longer in touch with folks from when I lived in Westfield, NJ. (NJ 7th)

Used to know people who were somewhat plugged into politics who might be "in the know." I'm pretty sure he owns a place there, but have no clue if he actually lives there.

On Edit: The address is online. Turns out the property is about six blocks from where I lived. Not that that is relevant to anything. Here's a tidbit from AI (Gemini)

Neighbors and local reporters noted that Kean's home in Westfield, NJ, has appeared dark and unoccupied for several weeks. Reports have also stated that his wife and dog were nowhere to be found, though journalists recently spotted his wife returning to the home
