“Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton (R) has resigned from his seat, one day before his colleagues were slated to vote on whether to expel him from the Texas House of Representatives after a committee unanimously recommended his dismissal over allegations of sexual misconduct with a 19-year-old aide,” the AP reports.
Slaton wrote in his resignation letter that he was looking forward to “spending more time with my young family” and would continue to “find ways to serve my community.”
