Washington state Rep. Jim Jacks of Vancouver abruptly resigned Friday because of “family and personal reasons,” House Democratic leaders said.

Democratic Majority Leader Pat Sullivan says Jacks submitted his letter of resignation Friday morning. A Democrat, Jacks represented the 49th district in the Vancouver area.

Rep. Jim Moeller, a Democrat who holds the other House seat in the 49th District, said Jacks would be missed.

“He was an effective and valued member of our legislative team,” Moeller said. “I will be anxious to hear from him in the weeks to come.”
