…and it couldn’t happen too soon. 
It’s a done deal:

From Fox News:

Democratic Rep. David Wu of Oregon has notified state and federal authorities that his resignation would be effective at the end of the day Wednesday, making him the fourth member of Congress to resign this year in the wake of a sex scandal.

We’ll help you pack. As one of my listeners put it, “We’ll send you a Wu-Haul.”
Here’s his statement via KGW:

Washington, DC — Congressman David Wu:
“Serving as a U.S. Congressman has been the greatest honor of my life. There is no other job where you get up each day and ask, ‘How can I try to make the world a better place today?’
“Particularly meaningful to me has been working for more and better investments in science and education. Also, I believe that my support for people who struggle for human rights and civil liberties will ultimately bear fruit in a world that is more just and peaceful.

Also from KGW:

“We are glad that Oregon can move forward and find a replacement in the First Congressional District,” Oregon Democratic Party Chairt Meredith Wood Smith said. “It is critical that this process begins immediately so that the citizens of the district can have a representative in Congress.  The Democratic Party is excited to see so many outstanding Democratic candidates step forward to fill the vacancy.”
