Representative Rob Andrews of New Jersey said he will resign from Congress this month.
The congressman, whose district includes Philadelphia suburbs in New Jersey, said he will be joining the Dilworth Paxson law firm, which is based in Philadelphia.
"A law firm with which my family and I have enjoyed deep and personal bonds stretching over three decades has offered me the opportunity to lead its government affairs practice," Andrews, 56, said in a statement.
He said he would leave Congress on February 18 during its President's Day recess and join the firm soon afterward.
Thirty-eight representatives and senators already have announced plans to leave Congress in advance of November's mid-term elections.
