Rep. Chuck Edwards said he will end his reelection campaign after an ethics panel recommended that he be censured, according to Politico. The development puts an end to his effort to seek another term in North Carolina.
The recommendation was reported alongside an ethics panel report, while other coverage described the matter as involving allegations of harassment. The available reports do not provide additional details about the allegations or the panel’s findings.
Edwards’s decision leaves North Carolina Republicans looking for a new nominee for the seat. Party officials and potential candidates are expected to assess their options as the nomination process moves forward.
