The San Diego County supervisor said he has suffered from post-traumatic stress resulting from military combat and childhood trauma
San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher announced Sunday he will be seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress and alcohol abuse and will be ending his state Senate campaign.
“I have no doubt I will not only make a full recovery, but will come back stronger, more connected and present. However, it is clear I need to focus on my health and my family and do not have the energy to simultaneously pursue a campaign for the State Senate,” Fletcher said.
In his statement, Fletcher said he has shared some of his challenges publicly but said “they run much deeper than I have acknowledged.”
