Illinois Senator Mark Kirk Returns to Capitol

By: Michael C. Fehn

Updated: January 4, 2013

Nearly a year after a debilitating stroke, Illinois Senator Mark Kirk is back at work in the Senate.

The Republican climbed the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Thursday and claimed his Senate seat.

Kirk was greeted at the foot of the Capitol steps by Vice President Joe Biden. Biden and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia were at Kirk's side as Kirk used a four-pronged cane to climb the 45 steps.
