CNBC
U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales will not seek re-election, following allegations that he had an affair with a former staff member who later died by suicide.
U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, will not seek re-election, he said on Thursday, following calls from top House Republicans to drop his bid due to allegations that he had an affair with a former staff member who later died by suicide.
"After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I've always had to my district," Gonzales said in a post on X.
A congressional ethics panel had on Wednesday announced it would investigate the allegations against Gonzales.
