Senate Candidate Jason Lewis Undergoes Successful Surgery
Jason Lewis, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, was hospitalized early Monday morning.
MINNESOTA — Republican Senate candidate Jason Lewis underwent a successfully surgery Monday to treat an internal hernia. Lewis was rushed to the emergency room after he began suffering severe abdominal pain early Monday morning.
"Provided that his recovery continues on a positive trajectory, doctors anticipate that he is likely to be released from the hospital in the next couple of days," campaign manager Tom Szymans said in a statement.
"On behalf of Jason and his wife Leigh, thank you for all the prayers and well wishes that have poured in from across the nation, and let me assure you that nothing will keep Jason Lewis sidelined in his fight to protect Minnesotans from the radical left’s assault on our police officers, economy and our Minnesota way of life."
