U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-San Antonio) mentioned Monday that he’ll resign from Congress, preempting a possible expulsion vote by colleagues who’ve been investigating his relationship with a former staffer who died by suicide.
“There’s a season for all the things and God has a plan for us all,” Gonzales wrote on social media. “When Congress returns tomorrow, I’ll file my retirement from workplace. It has been my privilege to serve the good folks of Texas.”
It’s unclear what’s going to occur to Gonzales’ twenty third Congressional District.
He’d already dropped his reelection bid this November, establishing a race between Republican Brandon Herrera and Democrat Katy Padilla Stout.
Republicans have an especially slender U.S. Home majority, however Gonzales resolution comes as Democrats are additionally dropping a member on the identical time.
U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) can be resigning amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
