Trey Radel Back to Work in Congress After Cocaine Bust

U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., is back to work on Capitol Hill after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine and going into rehab. Radel submitted 28 nominations to the military service academies on Friday.

It is humbling that so many of our local students in Southwest Florida have a desire to serve their country and I am happy to nominate them to our prestigious service academies, Radel said.

Radel is facing major opposition from fellow Republicans as both Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) are calling for his resignation. Former state Rep. Paige Kreegel is already running against Radel in the Republican primary.
