Former Idaho Republican Party Chairman Kirk Sullivan is recovering in a Boise hospital following “surgery to repair an ongoing kidney ailment,” according to a statement from family spokesman Guy Hurlbutt. Sullivan, 72, “has suffered for a number of months with severe kidney stones,” Hurlbutt said. “His condition worsened the second week of July, warranting hospitalization and surgery.” He added, “Kirk is slowly recovering from a delicate procedure, and is doing well. Betty and his children wish to thank those who have extended their well wishes and prayers.”
