Democratic leader House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) has addressed the abrupt resignation of fellow California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill, who announced her decision Sunday amid growing scrutiny over her alleged affair with a campaign staffer and allegations of another affair with a congressional staffer after she took office — the first to which she has admitted and the second she has denied.
“Congresswoman Katie Hill came to Congress with a powerful commitment to her community and a bright vision for the future, and has made a great contribution as a leader of the Freshman Class,” Pelosi said in a brief statement released Sunday. “She has acknowledged errors in judgment that made her continued service as a Member untenable. We must ensure a climate of integrity and dignity in the Congress, and in all workplaces.”
