Sheriff Jones twitters decision not to run for Congress

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones, who has been hinting for months that he might challenge House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, has apparently decided not to run.

This from his twitter feed:

“I have decided not to turn in my petitions for congress. This is not the time.Congressmans office has been notified this date. Sheriff Jones”

We’ve got calls into Boehner’s office and Jones’ office for additional detail.

Jones has gained fame for his hard-charging push to crack down on U.S. immigration violations in Butler County.
