Sen. Joyce won’t seek re-election amid FBI, IRS probe

BOSTON – Embattled state Sen. Brian Joyce won't seek re-election this year, announcing his plans on Twitter barely a week after FBI and IRS agents raided his Canton law office and on the same day that Milton Democrat Rep. Walter Timilty took steps to challenge Joyce if he did run again.
"I will continue to work hard for Milton and all of the district but will not seek re-election," Joyce, a Milton Democrat, said in a statement, according to the Milton Times. "I have worked hard for Milton and achieved results, while always trying to abide by the rules."
