Pat Tiberi Resigning from Congress to Take New Job

Beck pointed out several other Republicans in Congress have left before their term was over or decided early on not to seek re-election. Several of them said they were leaving because being in the majority wasn't what they expected.

"This is your time as a Republican and yet it has not gone well," he said. "There really are no measurable accomplishments so far in the Republican Congress."

Representative Joyce Beatty, D - Columbus, has long had a friendly relationship with her fellow Central Ohio representative. She said the minority party is often frustrated being out of power but she knows many Republicans in the majority who are just as frustrated.

"Every day it's frustrating," Beatty said. "We're seeing a lot of members of Congress say goodbye to something they love because it's just difficult times right now with the administration and what we're going through."

Republicans expect a crowded race to take over his seat.

"This is a heavy Republican district," said Blaine Kelly, a spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party. "It's too early to speculate on names just yet but I would expect to see quite a few people come out for this."

A special election will be held after Tiberi announces when he plans to leave office. According to the Ohio Secretary of State's office, Governor John Kasich will decide when that election will be. The cost of that election won't be known until after it's held but a similar special election in June 2016 to fill former House Speaker John Boehner's seat cost more than $500,000.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party issued similar statements saying they would look at the district to see if they think a Democrat can win a race there. The National Republican Congressional Committee and Ohio Republican Party also issued similar statements pointing out Tiberi won that district with 67 percent of the vote. They are confident another Republican will replace him.
