Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Murray resigns amid sexual misconduct allegations
CHEYENNE – Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Murray resigned Friday following two separate allegations of prior sexual misconduct within two months.
Murray made the unexpected announcement through a statement emailed to the media just before the close of business. He said no one asked him to resign.
“After deep and profound contemplation, I am announcing my resignation as secretary of state, effective today,” the statement said. “I step aside with peace and serenity in order that I may fully focus on what is most important in my life: my marriage, my family and my health.”
