Edwards Drops Race Amid Ethics Probe | Irvine News
Description
North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards has dropped out of his reelection race just two days after the House Ethics Committee recommended censure for a pattern of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior toward two young aides — including gifts, flirtatious comments, private dinners, and affectionate notes. While Edwards insists his actions were never meant to be romantic or sexual, the committee said a reasonable person would likely see them that way. He plans to finish his current term and thanked supporters in a statement, calling his service an honor — a major political setback for the 65-year-old lawmaker.
