TX-06: U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, of Arlington, hospitalized due to complications from cancer treatment

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, a freshman Republican, has been admitted into a Dallas hospital while undergoing cancer treatment.

His campaign said in a statement that he has been at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas since Sunday "due to complications surrounding his treatment."

"Congressman Wright has been in a tough battle with cancer this year, after overcoming a first bout with the disease in 2018," the news release said.

Wright announced in July 2019 that he had cancer again and was undergoing radiation treatment. He said at the time that he planned to keep a busy schedule and had no plans to slow down. Earlier this month, he was admitted to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, for treatment before returning home to Arlington, his campaign said.
