GOP Rep. Sean Duffy Announces Resignation From Congress

GOP Representative Sean Duffy who serves on the powerful House Financial Services Committee has announced his resignation from Congress effective in September.

Duffy cited a worrisome medical diagnosis for his and his wife’s unborn child as his reason for the abrupt resignation.

According to The Hill:

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) announced on Monday he was resigning from Congress after being elected to his fifth term in 2018.

Duffy — who was first elected to Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District during the Tea Party wave in 2010 — said he will leave his seat on Sept. 23 after finding out his ninth child has a heart condition. 

“Recently, we’ve learned that our baby, due in late October, will need even more love, time, and attention due to complications, including a heart condition. With much prayer, I have decided that this is the right time for me to take a break from public service in order to be the support my wife, baby and family need right now.  It is not an easy decision – because I truly love being your Congressman – but it is the right decision for my family, which is my first love and responsibility,” he said in his post. 

“On September 23, I will step down and allow others to step forward to begin laying out their own vision and plans for leading this beautiful district and the most honest, hard-working, family-oriented, patriotic, and God-fearing constituents in America.”

Duffy has served 8 and a half years in Congress and it is unknown what he will do moving forward.
