Fellow in pretty good shape. Longtime LEO as well.
Started off as a cop in 1974. He is a freshman Congressman. Only 64 - hope he recovers.

Prayers going to God the Father in Jesus name for healing for this public servant.
Amen
In agreement with your prayers. By JESUS’ stripes we were healed. Amen.
Amen
