Rep. Donald McEachin, a Democrat representing Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District since 2017, died Monday night after a battle with colorectal cancer, according to his office. He was 61.

Eachin’s chief of staff, Tara Rountree, said in a statement the congressman had been experiencing “secondary effects of his colorectal cancer from 2013.”

“We are all devastated at the passing of our boss and friend, Congressman Donald McEachin,” Rountree said. “Valiantly, for years now, we have watched him fight and triumph over the secondary effects of his colorectal cancer from 2013.”

“Tonight, he lost that battle, and the people of Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District lost a hero who always, always fought for them and put them first,” she added.

Is this the guy who hadn’t been seen in several weeks or months before the election, yet still won anyway?

Bad luck.

He was in his early fifties when this started.

RIP

He won reelection in November by 64-36.

Three of the largest cities in his District are more than 50% Black, so flipping the seat to the GOP is not realistic.

Colorectal…when it’s 90% preventable and you’re a Congresscritter with their health plan, more like stupid is a hard way to go. Just had to make that appointment, wreck a night on the john and he’d still be alive without all of that suffering.
