Kyle Frenette, manager of Bon Iver, has withdrawn his candidacy for one of Wisconsin's seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. "I didn't get into this race because I wanted to be a politician but because I wanted to be a representative. I wanted to represent the people in the 7th district; to give back to this amazing place that's given me so much," wrote Frenette in a statement. "Unfortunately, it is not my time. It is with a heavy heart I must withdraw my candidacy for Congress."

Frenette, who announced his candidacy in February with a video featuring the Bon Iver song "Wisconsin," said that "unforeseen circumstances in my life" have determined his decision to forego his planned challenge as a Democratic candidate against Republican incumbent Sean Duffy in Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.
