The last remaining New York City Republican member of Commerce is in trouble.
Rep. Vito Fossella has admitted fathering a 3-year-old daughter with a woman outside his marriage.
The Republican congressman from Staten Island made the announcement Thursday amid heavy scrutiny after his arrest for drunken driving last week in suburban Washington.
"I have have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a 3-year-old daughter. My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry," said Fossella. "While I understand that there will be many questions, including those about my political future, making any political decisions right now are furthest from my mind. Over the coming weeks and months, I will to continue to do my job and I will work hard to heal the deep wounds I have caused."
Police said Fossella told officers that he was going to see his daughter in the area when he was pulled over. That prompted questions about whether he had fathered an out-of-wedlock child because his wife lives in New York and the couple has three children together.
Fossella is the lone Republican member of the New York City congressional delegation.
