Right, she has to give up her seat because of revenge porn by her ex husband and he walks right in and takes the seat. He is a scum bag.

I don't know if that includes congress or just state down to local offices.

Q: Can a convicted felon serve in elected office?
A: The Constitution allows a convicted felon to be a member of Congress, even if in prison. Its up to the Senate or House to decide who may serve. As for state offices, different laws apply in different places.
