New Mexico House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, a Democrat, resigned Friday amid a criminal probe involving allegations that include money laundering and racketeering

Stapleton announced her resignation in a July 30 letter, obtained by The Paper, to the Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, in which she "unequivocally" denied the allegations. "This is a decision that weighs heavily on me, and which I have made after a tremendous amount of consideration of the best interest of the People," she wrote, adding that she "must devote a significant amount of time and energy to fully defend against these allegations." While no charges have been filed against Stapleton, authorities are investigating her for possible racketeering, money laundering, kickbacks, and violations of a law governing the conduct of state lawmakers...

Authorities are probing Stapleton's possibly illegal connections to a company that received more than $5 million in contracts to do business with Albuquerque Public Schools, and whether she received financial kickbacks.

Stapleton has been put on paid administrative by the school district.. New Mexico Gov.

New Mexico House Speaker Brian Egolf, House Majority Whip Doreen Gallegos, and House Majority Caucus Chair D. Wonda Johnson, said they support Stapleton's decision to resign. "Given the weight of the allegations against Rep. Stapleton and the ongoing investigation, her resignation from the House is appropriate and in the best interest of the Legislature and the state," they said... "I know Rep.
