Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL) declared his political career all but over yesterday, after getting crushed 62-38 in his state’s Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday.
“I have no interest in running for political office again,” Davis said, according to the Birmingham News. “The voters spoke in a very decisive way across every sector and in every section of the state. A candidate that fails across the board like that obviously needs to find something else productive to do with his life.”
“When I ran for Congress, I never had the desire to be a career politician,” he said, adding that “I have no interest in any appointed position.”
