Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales announced his resignation from Congress, effective when it reconvenes. He cited a personal season for change and expressed gratitude for serving Texas. Earlier in the year, he revealed he would not seek re-election after admitting to an affair with a staffer, who subsequently died by suicide. The situation has led to threats of expulsion against him, prompting his decision to step down.
"There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office. It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas."
"Earlier this year, Gonzales announced he would not run for re-election after admitting to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide."
