INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Republican Rep. Mark Souder says he'll resign from Congress effective Friday over an affair with a staffer.
Souder says in a statement provided by his office Tuesday that he has "sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff."
He scheduled a news conference to discuss his future.
Souder won a bruising Republican primary on May 4 to be nominated for his ninth term representing northeastern Indiana.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House GOP source says eight-term Indiana Republican Mark Souder is going to announce that he is resigning from office.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the expected announcement, says Souder is expected to announce his resignation in Fort Wayne, the center of the district he has represented since being elected in 1994 when Republicans took over the House after 40 years of Democratic control.
Souder is a social conservative and strong advocate of gun rights whose district has been strongly contested by Democrats in the past.
