Lovely Warren, Troubled Rochester Mayor, to Resign in Plea Deal
The New York Times
Lovely Warren will leave office early as part of a plea deal on campaign finance violations. The deal also resolves gun charges against her.
Lovely Warren, the embattled Democratic mayor of Rochester, N.Y., agreed to resign on Monday after accepting a plea deal on multiple state charges stemming from campaign finance violations, as well as child endangerment and gun charges.
The plea deal, in Monroe County court, marks the end of a swift and staggering fall from grace for Ms. Warren, 44, the city’s first female mayor who was once considered a rising star in the state Democratic Party.
Ms. Warren’s resignation is effective Dec. 1, just a month before she would have left office, having lost a June primary for a third term to Malik Evans, a city councilman.
