Rosendale suspends House race, will not seek re-election in Montana: 'Taken a serious toll on me'
Fox News reports "Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., will not seek re-election in Montana's 2nd Congressional District, pointing to "current attacks" against him as the reason for deciding to exit the race.
Rosendale entered the Montana Senate race in February, but suddenly dropped out less than a week after his announcement.
The congressman then filed to run for re-election in his Montana district, but he announced Friday he will not be running for another term.
"Since that announcement, I have been forced to have law enforcement visit my children because of a death threat against me and false and defamatory rumors against me and my family," Rosendale said in a statement announcing his campaign suspension. "This has taken a serious toll on me, and my family. Additionally, it has caused a serious disruption to the election of the next representative for MT-02.""
