Democratic Virginia Rep. Jennifer Wexton revealed on Twitter Tuesday that she has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease but has no plans to step down after being elected to a third term in November.
The congresswoman from Virginia’s 10th district said she is “doing well” despite the diagnosis and hopes to remain in office “for many years.” “You are welcome to empathize, but don’t feel sorry for me. I’m working with my doctor on a treatment plan that addresses my symptoms.”Wexton defeated Republican challenger Hung Cao in 2022 by nearly six percentage points and was first elected to Congress in 2018.
