According to a posting on CitizenFreePress he also announced that he and his wife are divorcing. Apparently he being in congress has put irreparable strain on the marriage. He chose congress over her; she chose divorce over him.
Cawthorn’s wife is a pretty sweet girl who had no idea of the pressure of having a husband who is both paraplegic and a member of Congress. Best they part now as both are young and hay no children. Sam Rayburn who went through a similar short lived marriage at the start of his very long career said few women in the small city he was from could juggle a DC political life and small town America. Those he reconned could already had tied the knot
Mr Sam never we’d again.
