WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKBW) — Congressman Tom Reed (R-NY23) announced his immediate resignation from office on the floor of Congress on Tuesday.

The resignation comes after Reed had previously announced in late March that he would not run for public office in 2022.

Reed was accused of sexual misconduct earlier this year, relating to an incident during a political trip to Minnesota in 2017.

His accuser, Nicolette Davis, told the Washington Post that Reed massaged her, unclipped her bra and put his hand on her thigh while at an Irish pub in Minneapolis.

1. Where do things stand with redistricting? Any chance Dems can

Pick up this seat?

[FBaggins]

2. Most of the leading plans draw Claudie Tenney into that district with Reed

The most recent Democratic proposal shifts the seat from R+15 to R+23.

After redistricting, now I'm in the 23rd. Tenney again. She took credit for what she voted against. Pure MAGA.
