John Kitzhaber Resigns - Elvira Gamboa

Oregon governor John Kitzhaber stated that he's resigning after a scandal involving his fiancee. People had been wanting him to resign after his fiancee had advised him on certain issues while she was being paid by a group that advocated those issues. Kitzhaber says that he is innocent even though his resignation shall take affect on Wednesday. Secretary of State Kate Brown will be taking his place as governor.

Just like in the past, there are scandals in politics. Examples of past scandals are the Teapot Dome Scandal and Whiskey Ring.
