PHOENIX -- Longtime Maricopa County Supervisor Fulton Brock says he won't seek re-election in November.
Brock announced Tuesday that he needs to spend more time with his children "as we put our lives back together."
A sex scandal has rocked the Brock family since last year.
Brock's wife, Susan, is serving a 13-year prison sentence after being convicted of sexually molesting a teen starting when the boy was 14.
Brock's 22-year-old daughter, Rachel, pleaded guilty to abusing the same teen boy. She was sentenced to 10 years' probation with one year of deferred jail time.
Brock is vice chairman of the county Board of Supervisors and has served on the board since 1996.
He oversees a district that includes Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek, Sun Lakes and parts of Phoenix, Gilbert and Mesa.

The sad thing is that I wouldn't hold him responsible for the actions of his wife and daughter.

His wife and daughter ruined his future in politics. His wife deserved the time she was sentenced too, don't understand why his daughter got off so easy. Feel for him with the damage that's been done to his family as a result of the mom and daughter.

Give me a break. He was informed many times by several people. And yet he condemns this behavior by others (as he should). He's a hypocrite.

Gee, mwmike, before I would believe my wife would do such a thing, it would have to be some very specific "several people".
In what why is he being a hypocrite?

Good riddens...there is plenty of evidence to reflect the fact that he knew what was going on and failed to do anything about it and then used his influence to keep a lid on the whole sordid matter. He never denied these accusations. He never contradicted these accusations when he had ample opportunity to do so.
That's one of the reasons he is not running again...he ran out of any semblance credibility.
