“I am happy to be leaving the hospital after a successful surgery to remove a small cancerous tumor. I want to thank my great team of doctors who provided excellent care.

After surgery and recovery, my doctors have told me my prognosis is excellent," Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-08) said in a press release Saturday.

“I want to thank my family, including my wife Jennifer and my children Ryan, Kenneth and Katy, for their unconditional love and being by my side. As I continue to recover from my surgery at home, I want to thank my constituents for their continued support. And I would like to thank my talented and dedicated staff, who are continuing to serve the people of the Eighth District as I recuperate."

“I look forward to being back voting in Congress and traveling the district soon.”
