Woman Who Had Affair with Lawmaker Now Running

“Shannon Edwards (R), whose affair with Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) ended his congressional career, announced Wednesday in Pittsburgh she’s running for Congress,” the Washington Examiner reports.

“Murphy, a staunch pro-life Republican, resigned in the face of a scandal last October when it was revealed the married lawmaker had an affair with Edwards and then urged her to have an abortion during a pregnancy scare.”
