You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work.

I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.

My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion.

Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.

I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident.

You're right to expect your representatives to work hard for you.

end the crazy speculation

I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.

Public officeholders have a commitment to represent constituents with clear communication about one's ability to serve.

Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate.

Allowing the speculation over McConnell's health to continue is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians.

I believe this requires clear communication about one's ability to serve.
