Rep. Nevárez says there is no one to blame but himself after being caught on tape with cocaine in envelope

“Unfortunately, the news is true. It is why I chose not seek re-election. I had imperiled my health."

After news broke overnight that Rep. Poncho Nevarez had been caught two months ago with cocaine in an envelope at the airport, he issued the following statement:

“Unfortunately, the news is true. It is why I chose not seek re-election. I had imperiled my health.

I do not have anyone to blame but myself. I accept this because it is true and it will help me get better.

In a weird way I am grateful. Grief and addiction were consuming me, but oddly enough, I feel better now than I have in a long time, and I mean that.

I have many relationships to repair starting at home and I intend to seek treatment.

I apologize to each and every person that feels I have let them down.

I look forward to a future with my family and friends, to being healthy, and finally, home. “
