Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md., suffered a minor stroke Friday and is recovering at his home, according to reports.
Brown, 56, had the stroke after attending the funeral of Kevin Kamenetz, Baltimore County executive and Democratic gubernatorial candidate who died last week from cardiac arrest.

The congressman’s spokesman, Matt Verghese, said Brown began to feel very dizzy and nauseous after returning to his home in Bowie, Md. His wife called 911, and the congressman was transported to University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, according to the Washington Post.
“It was determined he had experienced a minor stroke but had no deficits. … He’s expected to make a full recovery,” Verghese said in a statement.
Verghese said the congressman is in “good spirits, staying active at home and communicating with staff, and is eager to return to Washington.” There is no set date for Brown to return to Capitol Hill, and he will maintain a “limited public schedule,” his spokesman said.
Brown was elected to represent Maryland’s 4th Congressional District in 2016 after serving as the state’s lieutenant governor. He lost a bid for governor of Maryland in 2014.
The congressman also served two terms in the Maryland General Assembly and is a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
