Days after Rep. Duncan Hunter pleaded guilty to a federal felony related to a years-long campaign finance scandal, he has finally stated explicitly that he will resign from his congressional seat before the end of his term.
Hunter’s decision comes a day after the House Ethics Committee threatened disciplinary action against Hunter if he continued to violate House rules and cast votes in light of him pleading guilty to a federal crime that could carry more than a two-year prison sentence. Hunter had also already lost the ability to serve on any congressional committees.
He may also have the option of calling for a special election or consolidating a special election with the March primary, if he feels there is sufficient time.
