U.S. Rep. Bob Ney, dogged by an influence peddling probe in Washington, will not seek re-election, state Sen. Joy Padgett said early Monday.
Ney called Padgett on Saturday and asked the fellow Republican to run in his place, saying that defending himself has been a strain on his family, she said.
"It's a very sad time," Padgett said of Ney's decision, first reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on its Web site.
She said Ney told her, "that there's only so much he can take. He said, 'I have to do this.'"
Padgett told The Associated Press she would run for Ney's seat.
Calls to Ney's office and staff were not immediately returned. He has not been charged and has denied wrongdoing.
Padgett said Ney told her he intends to serve the remainder of his term.
