Description | A Lenoir County state legislator, indicted last week by a federal grand jury, has resigned.
Republican Representative Stephen LaRoque submitted his resignation letter to House Speaker Thom Tillis Wednesday afternoon.
LaRoque said his resignation was a "difficult decision", but that he did not want his continued presence in the General Assembly "to be politicized or to distract from the important work that still needs to be done there."
It becomes effective August 1st. |
