Ms. Duran “indeed tendered her resignation late last night,” her attorney, Erlinda Ocampo Johnson of Albuquerque, wrote in an email to NMPolitics.net.
Her resignation comes before a Friday morning hearing in the Santa Fe District Court where “some new developments in the case” are expected to be revealed, Ms. Johnson said.
Ms. Duran, a Republican, faces fraud, embezzlement, money laundering and other charges related to abusing the state’s campaign finance reporting system. She had pleaded not guilty.
