A Christian family values Republican lawmaker has stepped down from his post in Ohios state House over revelations that he engaged in inappropriate conduct with another man at his legislative office, said The Columbus Dispatch on Thursday.
Wes Goodman, 33, a married former aide to U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), submitted a two-sentence resignation letter to the state Republican Party on Wednesday after a meeting with state House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger (R).
I was alerted to details yesterday afternoon regarding his involvement in inappropriate behavior related to his state office, said Rosenberger in a statement on Wednesday. I met with him later in the day where he acknowledged and confirmed the allegations. It became clear that his resignation was the most appropriate course of action for him, his family, the constituents of the 87th House District and this institution.

That is, if I'm understanding the new rules instituted today.
I do not understand your comment.
