NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The latest on state Rep. Jeremy Durham, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment and other questionable behavior (all times local):

Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey says state Rep. Jeremy Durham had an affair with another lawmaker, causing her to resign.
Ramsey made the comments to reporters after a legislative preview session hosted by The Associated Press and the Tennessee Press Association on Thursday.
Republican Rep. Leigh Wilburn of Somerville resigned just one year into her first term last month due to unspecified “unforeseen circumstances.” She hasn’t spoken to reporters about her decision to step down, and a relative said she has since changed her phone numbers.
