Lewis drops out of House race
By Ryan Alessi

FRANKFORT --Ducking under the 4 p.m. deadline by mere minutes, U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis, R-Cecilia, withdrew his papers to run for an eighth term and threw his support to his chief of staff, who entered the race at the last moment.

Lewis later said it was time for "new blood" and pledged to campaign on behalf of his top aide, Daniel London, whose wife delivered both Lewis' withdrawal papers and London's candidacy papers moments before the deadline to turn them into the secretary of state's office.

It was a switcheroo that at least one national GOP official described as "shenanigans."
