Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.) has cancer, takes leave

Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.) has been diagnosed with cancer and will take a leave of absence from Congress until May 25, well-placed staffers told The Hill yesterday.

There are no details yet about what type of cancer the lawmaker is suffering from, or what stage it is in. Her office would not comment.

On Monday, Millender-McDonald, who is chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, requested a leave of absence from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to one source.

Millender-McDonald’s absence puts her panel’s agenda and leadership in doubt; 92 bills have been referred to the committee this Congress.
