Rep. Daniel Kildee (D-Mich.) announced Friday that he had been diagnosed with a “serious but curable” cancer that will result in his absence from Congress for at least several weeks. “Thankfully, I caught it very early,” Kildee said.
Kildee was first elected to Congress in 2012, and represents what is now Michigan’s 8th District, which includes the cities of Flint and Frankenmuth. As chief deputy whip, he is a member of the House Democratic leadership team, and serves on the Ways and Means and Budget committees.
Kildee’s diagnosis comes a month after another House Democrat, Rep. Joaquin Castro , announced that he would be absent for several weeks to recover after undergoing surgery tothis week. “Thank you to everyone — friends, strangers and even some folks who can’t stand my politics — who’ve reached out.” Today’s one month since my surgery to remove cancerous neuroendocrine tumors. After 10 days in the hospital in Houston I got home to San Antonio to recover. Thank you to everyone — friends, strangers and even some folks who can’t stand my politics — who’ve reached out.
