Former Democratic Rep HarleyRouda, who was running for RepKatiePorter seat, is ending his bid to return to the House after sustaining a 'moderate' traumatic brain injury last month.
A California Democrat is ending his bid to return to the House after sustaining a"moderate" traumatic brain injury last month.
Rouda has"started on the path to full recovery," his doctors said after hospital tests revealed brain hemorrhaging from the fall, which he called"a concerning diagnosis to say the least." Rouda's statement, which called for the election of"moderates who will work across the aisle," underscores just how pivotal the 47th District will be next year. With a partisan lean of D+3, the seat will be one of the most competitive of the 2024 cycle.
"I wanted to make our district and our country a better place. And I will continue to do as much as I can as a private citizen," he added.
