Maloney Discharged, Plans To Return To D.C.

COLD SPRING, NY — Representative Sean Patrick Maloney has been discharged from the hospital, staffers said. He has been fighting a bacterial infection that affected several internal organs.

Maloney’s spokesperson, Ian Eli Lee, released the following statement providing an update on the Congressman’s condition.

“Congressman Maloney is on the mend and will be back to work in Washington next week. In the meantime, he’s asked for a complete update on the status of negotiations on the stalled 2018 Farm Bill. We look forward to having him back in D.C.”

Because of his health problem, Maloney (NY-18) had withdrawn from consideration as the next head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That vote was held Thursday, and Rep. Cheri Bustos of Illinois won, in what became a 3-way race after Maloney's withdrawal, with 117 votes.
