Nevada Senator John Ensign resigned as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the Senate's fourth-ranking party leadership position a day after admitting he had an extramarital affair with a campaign aide.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement.
“He’s accepted responsibility for his actions and apologized to his family and constituents, He offered, and I accepted, his resignation as chairman of the policy committee.”
Senator Ensign’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Cooper, confirmed his resignation and said there was no further statement.
