Indiana Representative Mark Souder admits having had an adulterous affair with staffer, Tracy Meadows Jackson then resigns.
Rep. Mark Souder, a Republican Congressman known to be conservative and supportive of family values , said on Tuesday that he will resign from Congress on Friday.
The eight-term congressman said he have “sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff.” According to some sources, their affair began after Jackson joined Souder’s district staff in 2004 and suspicions came during the primary campaign when anonymous tipsters called Souder’s aides and his opponent.
“I am so ashamed to have hurt those I love,” Souder announced in his Fort Wayne office. “I am so sorry to have let so many friends down, people who have fought so hard for me.” Souder did not identify the staff member.
Mark Souder has been married to Diane Souder for 36 years and they have three children. Tracy Meadows Jackson is also married to a successful homebuilder and Kosciusko County Commissioner.
