North Dakota’s longest-serving state senator will be resigning after a report revealed the lawmaker exchanged text messages with a man jailed on child pornography charges.
“Recent news stories have become a distraction for the important work of the legislative assembly during its interim meetings,” Republican Ray Holmberg, 79, said in a statement announcing his resignation, effective June 1.
“I want to do what I can, within my power, to lessen such distractions.”
Holmberg’s term was scheduled to end on Nov. 30 and he had already announced in March that it would be his last.
