More Curtis reactions…

State GOP Chairman Luke Esser:

“Representative Curtis did the right thing by resigning today, as it was clear he could no longer effectively represent either the Republican Party or his constituents. We wish the Curtis family all the best as they work to rebuild their lives.

Esser said he’s working with local party officials to fill the 18th District seat, which he called “a strong Republican district…We are confident that our party will be able to hold unto this seat.”
