“Michigan state Rep. Cindy Gamrat said Friday that she believes she will be vindicated by a misconduct investigation stemming from her affair with a fellow tea party Republican and that she does not plan to resign.
The Detroit News revealed Gamrat's relationship with state Rep. Todd Courser last week and detailed Courser's attempt to conceal the affair. Both lawmakers said their spouses were aware of the relationship and that they are working on their respective marriages.
"Although I am not proud of my personal conduct, in regards to my position as state representative of the 80th district, I believe that an open and honest investigation will vindicate me," Gamrat said Friday during a press conference at her lawyer's office in East Lansing, in her first public comments about the scandal.”
