The Republican Party of Minnesota released a statement wishing Lewis a speedy recovery.
“Jason is the biggest fighter we know,” Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan wrote. “He cares so much about Minnesota and has worked hard this entire campaign cycle. We look forward to seeing Jason again on the campaign trail soon and will work on his behalf until he returns.”
In 2016, Lewis was elected to congress from Minnesota’s 2nd District. He lost a rematch election in 2018 to Democrat Angie Craig.
Currently, Lewis is campaigning to unseat Democratic Sen. Tina Smith in the November election.
