Radel Clings to Seat Despite Calls to Resign

Weeks after the news broke of his cocaine bust, Rep. Trey Radel (R-FL) “continues to cling to his seat in Congress in what could ultimately become a testament to the changing mores on Capitol Hill,” Roll Call reports.

“The Florida Republican, who checked himself into rehab last month, has faced his fair share of calls to resign — notably from home-state Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, and state GOP Chairman Lenny Curry. Some of his congressional colleagues from Florida also wonder why he is sticking around.”
