Rep. Ruben Kihuen (D-Nev.) won't run for reelection, according to a Democratic source familiar with the Nevada congressman's decision.

Kihuen came under fire after a former campaign staffer and a Nevada lobbyist both accused Kihuen of sexual harassment while he was a Democratic candidate and during his tenure as a state legislator.

On Friday, the House Ethics Committee announced that it planned to open an investigation into the allegations.

Kihuen told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he denies the sexual harassment allegations, "but it is in the best interests of my family and my constituents to complete my term in Congress and not seek re-election."

Kihuen joins a string of other members of Congress to resign or not run for reelection, after a spate of sexual harassment scandals.
