Taylor suspended his campaign following the March 1 Texas GOP primary in which he was forced into a runoff with former Collin County Judge Keith Self. The allegations against Taylor, first elected to represent Texas' 3rd District in 2019, were made by former Jihadi-wife Tania Joya during an interview with right-wing media outlets 36 hours before the polls opened.
"About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world,""I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life. I want to apologize for the pain I have caused with my indiscretion, most of all to my wife Anne and our three daughters."
Joya claims that her affair with the former U.S Marine and Iraq combat veteran began in October 2020. The alleged relationship ended last June, but not before the married congressman and father of three allegedly gave Joya a departing gift of $5,000 to help her pay off her credit card debt
