| U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis - R |
U.S.
Rep. Geoff Davis, who previously announced he would retire this year
from Congress, has resigned from his seat early than expected.
Davis,
a Republican from Kentucky's 4th District, said in a statement that a family
health issue has developed recently that needs more of his time and that he
would resign effective Tuesday. Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Bill
Adkins are running to succeed Davis in November's general election.
The
53-year-old fiscal and social conservative has served a district that stretches
along the upper tier of Kentucky from the Louisville suburbs to the West
Virginia border since 2005.
