Democratic congresswoman seeking treatment for alcoholism after ‘serious’ fall
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is taking time away from Congress after she said she had a “serious” fall, related to alcohol dependence.
“I sincerely thank the many people who have reached out in support after my accident last week. The fall was serious, but with physical therapy I will fully recover,” the Arizona Democrat said in a Wednesday statement. “I do, however, have another challenge I must face, which was the underlying cause of the fall. Beginning next week, I will receive treatment that I have struggled to ask for, to treat my alcohol dependence.”

Ann Kirkpatrick used to be my Rep.
After she lost to Gosar, I think, she upped and moved and then ran again and won.
She even ran for Senate against John McCain
She was born and raised here on the mountain.
I don’t have nice things to say about her so I won’t say anything personally.
She was a do nothing congress critter for us in Dist. 1.
