Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., announced Saturday that he would not seek re-election in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against him. "Therefore," Kihuen went on, "it is in the best interests of my family and my constituents to complete my term in Congress and not seek re-election." The woman's claims against Kihuen included allegations that he rubbed her back and repeatedly kissed her at a fundraising event this past October. On Thursday, Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, said he would not seek re-election amid sexual harassment allegations that he has denied. Last week, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., retired weeks after former aides shared stories of habitual sexual harassment.
