Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick to seek treatment for alcoholism
Kirkpatrick's love for hooch interfering with work in U.S. House of Representatives
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick on Wednesday announced that she would take a leave of absence from the House to seek treatment for alcoholism.
The Arizona Democrat said in a statement that she would begin treatment next week after suffering a “serious” fall that was linked to drinking.
Kirkpatrick, who missed a historic floor vote on Wednesday to transmit impeachment articles to the Senate, did not say how much time she is expected to be away from Washington.
