U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, R-Arlington, died of COVID-19 Sunday, according to his campaign. He was 67.

Wright represented the 6th Congressional District in Texas, which includes parts of the Dallas/Forth Worth area, as well as Waxahachie and Midlothian. He is the first sitting member of Congress to die after being hospitalized with COVID-19.

Wright was also undergoing treatment for lung cancer, and had been hospitalized in September due to complications surrounding his treatment. He announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 in late January.

Although Wright had not yet received a COVID-19 vaccination, a representative told the Texas Tribune in January that he had planned to receive it in "the near future."

Here's a look back at Wright's career, as well as what we know about his plans to get the vaccine and the 6th Congressional District.

I see.

Well, he needed to move that plan up then.

I am glad to hear that it was available to him though- presumably as part of his house status or maybe he was waiting for his turn as part of Texas priority.

I don't know. I am not his mamma. If he had a chance to get it when the likes of AOC did and chose not to, well, he was following his own plan, which is fine with me. Might not be so fine with him now. I am not running a babysitting service for people who are high risk but have to pull into a lotus position and meditate for a few weeks to know whether they want a vaccine that is available to them.

It aged just fine. Everything he said was 100 percent true. It's not like Wright was school age and attended class at middle school.

Old guy fighting cancer gets a serious respiratory virus and dies. Shocking.
I suppose some of you are saying this is karma or some other bullshit superstition. I say if you get a large enough group of people saying anything for, or against anything, some of those people will be subject to those things they talked about. No mystery. The guy is dead. RIP

You would think a cancer sufferer would take COVID seriosuly then with all the risk factors rather than suck the Trump dick and claim it was not a big deal and no need to wear masks or protect oneselves.

he played a stupid game and got a stupid prize....

One might think that, but he made his own decision. That's how it should be. Consequences must be weighed and considered. The consequences of his decision was death. Maybe he took a look at the road ahead of him, cancer and all, said fuck it, life don't look all that bright anyway. Who knows. None of that was or is my point. We all should be able to speak our minds, and fuck a bunch of karma superstition.

It's only karma if they lose everything of value in their lives and perhaps take a beatdown by thugs in the process. Otherwise it's just the well insulated elites coordinating their escape to safer ground, only to ruin another city.

Did he ask all those people around them what their choice was?

According to your argument, it is his choice to smoke on the airplane and get cancer so you cannot tell him not to smoke..

I dunno. Does the pissed off driver give a shit about all the lives around him as he's driving like a maniac? How about the dumbass texting while driving and crosses the centerline? Something which I see nearly every day. Our lives intersect like it or not and while it's a nice thought to think we're all going to consider how our actions will impact others, we must accept that isn't the case more often than not, so we are responsible for ourselves first, others second. To do otherwise puts you in harm's way.
