Patrick Kennedy Won’t Seek Re-Election to U.S. House

A quote from the link…..”Kennedy fought a public battle with addiction to prescription medications after crashing his car into security barriers at the Capitol in Washington in May 2006. He spent a month in treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and under an agreement with prosecutors pleaded guilty to one count of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.”
