DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican state Sen. Rick Bertrand is recovering from a mild stroke.

Betrand suffered the stroke on Saturday, according to a news release sent out Wednesday. The Sioux City Republican is recovering in hospital and says he is feeling much better.

The release says physicians expect Bertrand to make a full recovery and suffer no lasting effects from the stroke.



Bertrand is expected to return to work at the Capitol next week. He stepped down from his role as minority whip in the Senate in late 2013.
