SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — Iowa state senator Rocky De Witt has announced that he is fighting pancreatic cancer.
On the De Witt for Iowa Senate Facebook page, the state senator said he was diagnosed with the cancer earlier this year. This has kept him away from the 2024 Iowa legislative session to date.
“I fully intend to return to the Iowa legislature, and soon,” De Witt said in a statement. “It’s up to god to decide if that is next week, the following, or otherwise.”
De Witt has been in the state legislature since the 2023 session.
