Seems to be a lot of this going on. Clearly they realize there’s no hope of
regaining control of Congress.
South Jersey Congressman Rob Andrews will resign from Congress later
this month to take a job with a prominent Philadelphia law firm, a source
close to the situation said Tuesday morning.
Andrews, a Democrat in his 24th year in the House, will resign around
President’s Day weekend, the source said. He will take over a public
affairs job at the firm, according to the person, who spoke on the condition
of anonymity and did not want to name the firm in advance of Andrews’
announcement.
State Sen. Donald Norcross is expected to run to replace Andrews and
will be endorsed by the top names in South Jersey Democratic politics later
this morning. Norcross is a labor leader — the former head of the South
Jersey AFL-CIO — and brother of South Jersey power broker George Norcross.
(George Norcross is also majority owner of the company that owns the
Inquirer and Philly.com).
Andrews, 56, sees the new job as a chance to help secure the financial
future for his family, the source said. He has two daughters, aged 19 and 21
, and has been in government for nearly 30 years.
Obviously he needs the money.
But Andrews has also faced an ethics committee investigation over a
family trip to Scotland paid for with campaign funds. The House ethics
committee was investigating the trip and the use of $30,000 of campaign
money to pay for flights, a luxury hotel stay and other expenses while
attending a wedding in Edinburgh. |
