Chuck Edwards announced Wednesday he will not run for re-election for a competitive North Carolina seat after an ethics panel released an investigation that found “substantial evidence” the congressman repeatedly made unwanted advances toward two female staffers. In a social media post, Edwards wrote, “After much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to withdraw from my re-election campaign. Top House Republicans were sent scrambling when the chamber’s ethics panel took the rare step of recommending that the full House vote to punish Edwards. The ethics panel said Monday that “there was substantial reason to believe Representative Edwards violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.” The committee recommended the House vote to censure Edwards.
