Tom Reed won't seek reelection in the House amid sexual misconduct allegations

Republican Rep. Tom Reed will neither seek reelection in 2022 for the upstate New York House seat he’s held for a decade, nor run to challenge scandal-plagued Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Reed made the announcement Sunday night in a statement in which he also apologized to former lobbyist Nicolette Davis over allegations about his behavior at a Minneapolis bar in 2017. According to a recent Washington Post article, the lawmaker, married with two children, fumbled with Davis’s bra before unhooking it and moving his hand to her thigh, among other aggressive actions.
