ILLINOIS (KTVI) — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is recovering from a medical procedure he had on Friday and will put a pause on public events next week.

A spokesperson from the governor’s office tells Nexstar’s KTVI that Pritzker completed a “routine out-patient urology procedure.”

“Next week, the Governor will fulfill his duties and pause public events while resting. The Governor is grateful for well-wishes and looks forward to resuming public events soon,” the spokesperson added.

Pritzker is still able to fulfill duties as the governor, but Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton will remain in Illinois as he recovers.
