Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D) said on Wednesday that will not seek reelection in 2014, according to the Associated Press.
Chafee faced a tough reelection fight in 2014 and has suffered from low approval ratings.
Chafee, who was previously a Republican senator, switched parties in May. He was an Independent before becoming a Democrat and campaigned for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
