Florida state Rep. Carlos Trujillo will dissolve his law practice, withdraw from the law firm he founded and abandon his seat in the House if he is confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States.

Trujillo, whose confirmation hearing before the committee on foreign relations was held last month, said in a letter to the State Department legal adviser’s office that he would give up his Florida House District 105 seat if he is confirmed. He holds the powerful position of House budget chairman. His confirmation may trigger a special election to fill the seat for the last year of Trujillo’s term.
