Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA) will resign from Congress, he announced Tuesday, citing family needs. Cardoza was not running for re-election in 2012.

“In light of the fact that nothing is going to happen for the rest of the year, and in light of the fact that (my wife) and I are facing increasing parenting challenges, this seemed the right time to make this move,” Cardoza told the Sacramento Bee.
