Senator Stumpf treated for heart condition

Posted at 10:58 AM on April 23, 2007 by Tom Scheck

DFL state Senator LeRoy Stumpf has been treated for heart condition and will may miss the rest of the legislative session. Stumpf was hospitalized on Friday after having chest pains. A statement released by Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller says doctors gave Stumpf an angiogram and the prognosis is good. He will receive an unspecified medical procedure at the beginning of May. Stumpf is the chair of the K thru 12 Education Finance Committee and was preparing to be the lead Senate negotiator on the Education Conference Committee with the House. Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark will now lead the conference committee. Stumpf is a farmer from Plummer in Northwestern Minnesota. He was first elected to the Senate in 1982. He and his wife have three children.

UPDATE: I'm now being told Stumpf may be back at work but will NOT be chairing the conference committee. An official with the Senate Majority says "whether or not he returns this session is still up in the air."
