Representative Gamrat To Break Silence On Scandal Today In East Lansing

State Representative Cindy Gamrat, who represents the 80th District in Allegan County, on Friday spoke publicly for the first time since news of an affair with another lawmaker broke. Unlike her paranoid paramour Courser, she didn’t say anything about a vast conspiracy trying to destroy her, nor did she comment on Courser’s claim that mysterious blackmailers forced Courser to concoct a freaky scheme to smear himself as a way of covering up the affair.

“Did they break the House rules of using staffers to advance their own political agenda?”

“I want to apologize for the negative attention this has brought, for that I am truly sorry”, Gamrat said Friday, fighting tears throughout her news conference at a law firm.

Her husband by her side, Gamrat thanked her family for sticking by her despite making poor personal choices.

Both lawmakers are being investigated by the house to see if they misused public resources to hide their relationship and fired an aide who refused to help. She never mentioned Courser by name, instead referring only to “another representative”.

Gamrat is breaking her silence one week after the scandal involving her and Courser was revealed in a recording obtained by the Detroit News. “This is not just about protecting me, it’s also about protecting Joe and the kids”.

The 42-year-old Gamrat is a tea party activist who took office in January. “I am not proud of my personal conduct, but I believe an open and honest investigation will vindicate me”, she said, choking up frequently during her 10-minute press conference at the law offices of Andrew Abood.

“As she expects, it’s going to be a lot less damning than what everybody has suggested”, Abood told WILS.
