Representative Esty, Democrat of the fifth district of Connecticut, has announced that she had decided not to run for re-election this year. As Gomer Pyle used to say years ago, "Surprise, surprise, surprise."
Esty tried to cover up sexual harassment by her chief of staff against many of the women working in her office. The story of the cover up came out over the weekend. Fortunately, Esty was unable to stand the scrutiny even though many other Democrats supported her.
The fifth District is one that could switch to the GOP, although that remains unlikely in very blue Connecticut. Esty's loss will not be felt by many, since she accomplished next to nothing during her time in the House.
