Dogged by investigation, Rep. Cunningham won’t seek re-electionSAN MARCOS – U.S. Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, under federal investigation for his dealings with a defense contractor, announced Thursday that he will not seek re-election.
Cunningham made the announcement after calling a hastily arranged afternoon news conference.
The eight-term San Diego-area Republican read a brief written statement and did not take questions before ducking back into a library on the California State University, San Marcos campus.
“The time has come for me to conclude the public chapter in my life,” Cunningham said, his wife, Nancy, by his side. “Quite simply, right now I may not be the strongest candidate.”
