Tim Mahoney and his mistress, Patricia Allen
West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL) agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.
Mahoney, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising, the staffers said.
The affair between Mahoney and Allen began, according to the current and former staffers, in 2006 when Mahoney was campaigning for Congress, promising “a world that is safer, more moral.” Friends of Allen told ABC News that Allen sought to break off the affair when she learned Mahoney was allegedly involved in other extra-marital relationships at the same time.
Her friends say she told them Mahoney threatened that ending the relationship could cost her the job.
“You work at my pleasure,” Congressman Mahoney told Allen on a January 20, 2008 telephone call that was recorded and played for Mahoney staffers. ABC News was provided a copy. “If you do the job that I think you should do, you get to keep your job. Whenever I don’t feel like you’re doing your job, then you lose your job,” Mahoney can be heard telling Allen.
“And guess what? The only person that matters is guess who? Me. You understand that. That is how life really is. That is how it works,” Mahoney says on the call. “You’re fired,” Mahoney tells her. “Do you hear me? Don’t tell me whether it’s correct or not.”
Allen says, “Tell me why else I’m fired.”
“There is no why else,” Mahoney responds.
Later, Allen says, “You’re firing me for other reasons. You don’t, you’re not man enough to say it. So why don’t you say it.”
The portion of the tape provided to ABC News cuts off when the two begin a profanity-laced argument.

If you live in Charlotte, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach counties in Florida, then Tim Mahoney represents you. Tim Mahoney ran as a conservative, blue dog Democrat in 2006. He is currently running for re-election, but after today’s news, it is safe to say that Florida’s 16th Congressional district will be electing a Republican.
