Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D) will not seek re-election in 2014, the Providence Journal reports.
The move “opens the door for a number of prominent politicians who have been eyeing the governor’s office.”
Chafee recently switched his voter registration to become a Democrat in advance of what many expected to be a tough re-election race.
