Republican Jesse Kelly, who lost Tuesday’s special election to replace former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), will not run again in the regular election against Rep.-elect Ron Barber (D-Ariz.).

"Looking at the results from Tuesday, we have decided to withdraw from the race for Congress in AZ-02 and to seek other opportunities," Kelly said in a statement. "I will forever be thankful to our generous supporters and volunteers."

The other gop candidate in the race is not as insane as he so it may be a close race. But the district is being made into a more democratic district.
