Prior to adjourning for the week, the Alabama House of Representatives held a joint prayer for House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville) and State Rep. Sam Jones (D-Mobile), who both have "immediate health concerns."
Lawmakers did not immediately enumerate the ailment affecting the 42-year-old Daniels or the 77-year-old Jones.

Sources have confirmed to 1819 News that Daniels was hospitalized. The exact cause of his hospitalization has not been publicly confirmed.
