(Washington, D.C.) -- Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon is recovering following emergency surgery.

In a statement from Congressman Bacon, he thanked the medical team at Walter Reed and said he's looking forward to a full recovery and a quick return to work. Bacon's office says he is expected to be released on Thursday.
Bacon's opponent in the upcoming November midterms, Nebraska State Senator Tony Vargas, wished him a speedy recovery.
