But on Sunday, Reed apologized profusely to Davis as well as to his family, constituents and other supporters. “Even though I am only hearing of this matter as stated by Ms. Davis in the article now, I hear her voice and will not dismiss her,” he said in the statement. “In reflection, my personal depiction of this event is irrelevant. Simply put, my behavior caused her pain, showed her disrespect and was unprofessional. I was wrong, I am sorry, and I take full responsibility.”
He said he planned to dedicate himself to making amends for his past behavior and helping others battling substance abuse.
“I am now approaching four years of that personal lifelong journey of recovery,” he said in the statement. “With the support of my wife, kids and loved ones, professional help, and trust in a higher power, I continue that journey day-by-day. This is in no way an excuse for anything I’ve done.”
After learning of Reed’s apology, Davis said: “I am grateful for Congressman Reed’s reflection on his actions. I accept his apology. I hope that his words and actions will be an example for others who face similar allegations.”
