Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is back on the campaign trail just days after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg, as she thanked her supporters for their “prayers and support.”
The 37-year-old, who faces a tough re-election campaign in a new district, has now met voters again and is hailed by her team as a “tough lady” who is “earning every vote.”
He was admitted to a Colorado hospital on Monday complaining of severe swelling in his upper left leg, according to his campaign.
There, she was diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome, a rare vascular condition that affects a vein in the pelvis and can lead to deep vein thrombosis, which her spokesperson suggested her condition could be caused by sitting too long.
She was quickly admitted that day for surgery to remove the clot, and had a stent placed on Tuesday morning, but has since declared, “I’m not slowing down!”
Boebert appears at a re-election event on March 23 in Adams County.
His tenure has been rocked by a series of scandals, most famously when he was asked to leave a performance of Beetlejuice for sexually groping his date.
Now he has broken his silence on social media to explain to We have a country to save!’
Yesterday he told his followers: ‘THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to me and our team to send us your prayers and support, it has meant a lot to me! We hope to see you all again on the campaign trail soon!’
Boebert is trying to win a seat in the state’s 4th Congressional District in 2024 after winning two terms in the 3rd, and was recently photographed at a re-election event on March 27.
The shocking hospital admission meant he had to temporarily suspend his campaign, but he kept his promise to return to work quickly.
Her team previously said she was in “good spirits” and excited to “return to Congress to continue fighting for Colorado.”
Dr. Rebecca Bade, who worked on Boebert’s case at UCHealth Rocky Mountain Medical Center, said people who undergo the procedure the congresswoman received “can live and work as they did in the past after a brief recovery”.

May-Thurner syndrome is most common in adults between 20 and 50 years old, including women who have been pregnant. Boebert has four children with her ex-husband Jayson Boebert.
“The exact cause is unknown, but dehydration, travel, and prolonged periods of sitting have been identified as potential factors causing the symptoms of May-Thurner syndrome,” his campaign said when news of his condition emerged.
He received well wishes from former New York congressman and ally George Santos in X.
“Lauren had surgery and it came out fine and she is doing well,” he wrote of his “dear friend.”

‘I want to thank all the medical staff who cared for my friend and the doctors who took on this enormous responsibility. It’s everyday heroes (sic) like these who we should thank every day.’
Boebert surprised Colorado Republicans last Christmas when she announced her decision to leave the 3rd District and run to replace outgoing Rep. Ken Buck in the 4th District.
Boebert, the controversial MAGA Republican now endorsed by former President Donald Trump, adopted the ‘carpet’ label and traveled the district to convince voters she’s ready to fight for them, despite the drama surrounding her personal life. and their complicated divorce. ex husband.
He has been fighting accusations from liberals and even some moderate Republicans that he has a reckless character.
His tenure has been rocked by a series of scandals, most famously when he was asked to leave a performance of Beetlejuice for sexually groping his date.
Boebert faces at least 11 other Republican candidates in the June 25 primary.
However, her popularity among the MAGA base may still save her as she faces a crowded primary and the local Republican Party gave her a boost last week.
A Colorado Republican panel made a surprising decision Thursday night by choosing former Mayor Greg Lopez as the likely replacement for U.S. Rep. Ken Buck until the November general election.
While Lopez is likely to win in the deep red district, he will be a surrogate and plans to resign after the winner of the general election takes office in January.
For two of Boebert’s primary opponents, who came in second and third, running in the special election would have been a blessing and allowed them to be in office before the November general election.
