Rep. Pat Tiberi announced Thursday morning that he will resign from the U.S. House by January 31, 2018, taking a position with the private Ohio Business Roundtable.

"I have been presented with an opportunity to lead the Ohio Business Roundtable that will allow me to continue to work on public policy issues impacting Ohioans while also spending more time with my family," Tiberi said in his statement. "Leaving Congress is not a decision I take lightly but after a lot of consideration, it is the best one for me, my wife, Denice, and our four wonderful daughters."
