Looks like she took representing a swing district a little too literally.

And who do you Republicans have to retake this seat? Steve Knight lost by a mile. Even if Hill doesn't run for re-election is doesn't open the door for some triumph Republican return.

CA-25 voted for Newsom by 2 points in 2018. It's hardly a safe seat.

and this rewards a revenge porn campaign.

This is the real story here. If this story had been broken via the aide going to a mainstream news outlet about Hill's treatment of her, I would have leaned towards supporting Hill's ouster; however, as it stands, Hill resigning legitimizes revenge porn as a means of "reporting" on political scandals, and anybody who thinks it'll affect male and female politicians equally is delusional.

What evidence is there that these pics were private and then posted by her husband? IIRC, they were both posting these pics online (including on reddit) to solicit swinger hookups.

Regardless, the pics aren't even the scandal, just evidence toward the scandal of sleeping with subordinates. That she resigned and explicitly hinted toward further revelations in her statement implies truth to these and other unethical claims.

The GOP needs to be able to do better than running Knight again to have a shot at winning the seat.
