My thoughts go out to Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, the dean of Democratic AGs, who had cancer surgery today. From the AP:
A statement from Miller’s office said the surgery was performed at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines by Dr. Steven Rosenberg. The statement said Rosenberg believes the [prostate] cancer was discovered at an early stage and that Miller should recover completely.
I’ve had several opportunities to meet A.G. Miller, and he is a wealth of knowledge to all progressives out there.
Best wishes to him and his family.
