BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon congressman who acknowledges inappropriate behavior during the 2010 election campaign faces a primary challenge in the next election.
State Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian said Monday he will challenge Democratic Rep. David Wu for the party’s nomination in 2012.
Wu has been battling media reports about erratic behavior last year that led several key staff members to quit.
He has acknowledged taking a painkiller from a campaign donor despite an allergy to an enzyme found in many drugs. He also acknowledged sending staff members photos of himself wearing a tiger costume.
