Miami Herald via Yahoo NewsU.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, is resigning early from Congress, leaving the Pinellas County-based seat vacant until after the November election.
Crist said the resignation will be effective at the end of the day Wednesday. In a statement, he said serving as a representative has been an honor and a privilege.
His statement did not mention why he was resigning though theres only a handful of weeks left for Crist to campaign before he faces Gov. Ron DeSantis in the November gubernatorial election.
Crist thanked his constituents and said he was proud of his work to support veterans, expand solar energy and secure funding for community initiatives.

It's hard to be a member of Congress when you have to run all over Florida to campaign.
