The congressional candidate in Oklahoma who was accused of verbally abusing a group of teens at a middle school sleepover last month has announced that she would be ending her campaign.
Abby Broyles, a former investigative television journalist, wrote in an essay self-published on the site Medium on Thursday that she had checked herself into rehab a couple of weeks ago and instead of continuing her bid to become the Democratic candidate for Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District, she would be refocusing on “myself and my happiness”.
