So is this guy dead?

Yes

That, or rehab. Or he was sectioned.

It's starting to sound like the plot of the 90s movie the distinguished gentleman

Not really a "win" when running unopposed but I guess that detail doesn't generate clicks.

The word you're looking for is "acclaimed".

This guy's entire deal is that people like the name Kean in NJ politics. I wonder if he'll coast in entirely on name recognition from people oblivious he's been unable to do his job for ages. He could've stepped down and let another Republican have a shot, but that reduces the chance republicans have. It was held by a democrat before him and could be again.

I wish I could disappear for 3 months and not lose my job.

He's missing in a "not seen in public" way, as opposed to a "victim of Israel Keyes" way.

Raymond must have gotten to him

Since it's a safe R district, as long as he's not there voting it's a good deal.
