On Wednesday, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur filed to run for the House of Representatives to replace Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA), who resigned after she was accused of sexual impropriety with staffers.

As The Hill reported, “An FEC filing dated Wednesday announces the formation of the ‘Cenk for Congress’ committee, with Uygur listed as the group’s treasurer.” Uygur issued a tweet indicating he was not speaking about the filing publicly, writing, “To all reporters: No comment.”
