Jump to Summary

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado recently underwent emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from her leg. Following the procedure, she was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, a rare condition that can disrupt blood flow. Despite the health scare, Boebert is anticipated to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns regarding her health and her ability to fulfill her congressional duties. Boebert's commitment to return to work and represent her constituents was underscored in her communications following the surgery.

The diagnosis and surgery occurred amid a challenging period for Boebert, who has faced difficulties in her reelection campaign. She is currently serving her second term after winning a narrow victory in 2022 and has plans to relocate from the 3rd congressional district to the more conservative 4th district. The timing of Boebert's surgery coincides with the upcoming special election to replace GOP Rep. Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th district, scheduled for June 25. Her campaign has expressed that she is in good spirits and eager to return to Congress to continue her work.
