Is it real that GOP Rep Souder decided that hell step down as Indianas congressman?Why?”
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana’s delegation to Washington will have a decidedly different look in January with Rep. Mark Souder’s decision to resign Friday and become the third of the state’s nine congressmen to step down this year. The eight-term Republican who promoted abstinence education rocked party leaders Tuesday with his announcement that he was stepping down because of an extramarital affair with a part-time staff member. Souder won a bruising primary just two weeks ago, and the resignation could hurt the GOP’s chances of holding onto the Republican-leaning district in November in a year that many expect will favor the party.
