It seems that Indiana congressman Mark Souder can’t take the pressure anymore when his affair with with one of his staffer was revealed. After an official statement, he confirmed that he will resign his seat.
“It is with great regret I announce that I am resigning from the U.S. House of Representatives as well as resigning as the Republican nominee for Congress in this fall’s election,” said Souder.
“I sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part time member of my staff,” added Souder. “I am so shamed to have hurt those I love.”
He previously survived a challenge that was not taken easily after a car dealer named Bob Thomas has spent great amounts of his own money on the race. Mark Souder though took the lead and won with less than 50 percent of the vote.
Now the question is who will be replacing him on the ballot? Its possible that this whole thing can result in special elections according to state law.
Its surprising how affairs can change peoples lives, so lets learn out of his experience and try to discern first before acting.
