Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) has announced that his cancer has returned, and he will soon step down as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
The daily stress is making many ill. I wish him well. He was sick when he was elected to the position, this could have aggravated the disease. AOC should have been elected to the position. A healthy woman with brilliant leadership abilities. It’s time to move the next generation into power!
This is truly sad news. His message just shows what character he has. He is bowing out with dignity and grace. My prayers are for him and his family. 🙏🏼
As someone who has fought cancer myself, I wish him light and healing in this difficult journey. Sincere thanks to him for fighting for democracy and the American people! AOC, we need you to take the reins!

Right! Good point.
Oh my….he is my Rep. and I have been a proud constituent. A good, honest, decent man….something harder to find these days.
He did a good job, now it's time to let AOC take on this role.
Yes!
This is truly sad news. His message just shows what character he has. He is bowing out with dignity and grace. My prayers are for him and his family. 🙏🏼
Thanks so much for your service to the people. Best wishes for a positive outcome on your cancer treatment. 🙏
Heartbreaking
Jerry Connolly has been a true and faithful servant. He will be deeply missed in Congress.

Best of good healing to you.
Thanks for your values and love of our Democracy.
He was a caring Democrat! I thank him for his years of service!
Well done. And thank you for years of service. Pray for our country.
My rep as well, and I wish him nothing but the best.
I live in his district and saw the letter this morning, very sad to see. He has served us well for many years
Wishing you nothing but the best with your treatment. Stay strong.
First, Our Hearts ache for Rep. Connolly ....and send him strength for his battle with cancer.
And we hold out hope that Our Nation will continue to battle against the "right" as if Gerry were standing alongside the rest Of The Democratic House.
