Rhode Island state Senator Jessica de la Cruz is ending her Congressional campaign.
The Republican is now endorsing former Cranston mayor Allan Fung in the race for the 2nd Congressional District seat.
Longtime incumbent Democrat Jim Langevin is not running for another term.
De la Cruz says she was encouraged by the support her campaign received, but she believes the best place for her right now is the Rhode Island Senate, so that she can support important causes like suspending the gas tax and parental rights in education.
Technically, the Senator is "suspending" her campaign which will allow her to get back into the race if circumstances dictate.
