Assemblyman Matthew Dababneh will be resigning at the end of this month, which causes the Democrats to lose their super-majority in the State Assembly.
According to KABC News:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Assemblyman Matt Dababneh is resigning after a lobbyist alleged he sexually assaulted her in a bathroom.
Dababneh again denied the allegation in his resignation letter, but said he no longer believes he can effectively serve his Los Angeles district. He is the second Democratic California lawmaker to step down following allegations of sexual misconduct. He said he'll cooperate with an ongoing Assembly investigation into the claim.
"Beyond the salacious headlines, I am confident that the completed investigation will bring to light and into focus the significant and persuasive evidence of my innocence," Dababneh wrote.
He should resign now, not wait until the end of the month.
