Two Republicans on the House Page Board resigned Thursday because the House clerk failed to notify them of two incidents involving high school-age students, including shoplifting charges and improper sexual conduct.
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida sent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a letter Thursday announcing her intention to step down from the bipartisan panel that monitors the congressional page program in the House. And Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) followed later with her own statement.
The page incidents did not involve members of Congress.
Brown-Waite said she was resigning “due to the failed leadership of the clerk of the House and the continued lack of oversight,” according to the letter obtained by Politico. More on the story.
