Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL) retiring.

The Crypt reports that Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL) will be announcing his retirement today, “becoming the 25th House Republican not to run for re-election this election cycle.” In 2006, the LA Times revealed that Weldon earmarked money for Tom DeLay’s allies in return for political contributions.

UPDATE: “The surprise announcement comes within hours of the congressman’s daughter, Katie Weldon, being arrested and jailed, accused of attacking an employee at a Brevard County bar.”
