Democrat U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch has submitted his resignation, which became effective September 30.

Deutch was first elected to Congress in 2010, representing northern Broward County and southern Palm Beach County in what is now Florida’s 23^rd  Congressional District.

Deutch is leaving to join the American Jewish Committee where he will become the new CEO.

The district will be without a representative until a winner of the November election replaces him in January.
