Sen. Cramer To Return To Washington, D.C. Monday With A Light Schedule After Concussion and Brain Bleed

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR) — North Dakota’s junior U.S. Senator, Kevin Cramer, plans to return to work on Monday after suffering a concussion, seizure and slight brain bleed last weekend.

In an update on social media, Cramer says he will keep his schedule light and intends to remain in Washington for most of the week.

The Republican congressman says he is feeling much better thanks to care from his wife, Kris, and the medical professionals at Sanford Health.

He will return to Bismarck at the end of the week for another CT scan, a checkup and to get the staples removed from his head.

One week ago, Cramer slipped on ice at his Bismarck home while walking down a hill to his dock and fell hard.

He says he didn’t remember anything from the fall until after arriving at Sanford Health with his wife, Kris.

Cramer is in his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2024.  He served three terms in the U.S. House.

He previously served for a decade on North Dakota’s Public Service Commission and also served for a time as the state’s Economic Development Director and Tourism Director.
