Councilmember Bobby Henon resigned from the Philadelphia City Council following his conviction on conspiracy and fraud charges.

The council president is expected to call a special election to fill the vacant District 6 seat for the remainder of the term ending in December 2023.

Kentucky Rep. Robert Goforth, who won reelection despite facing criminal charges for allegedly choking a woman during a domestic dispute, resigned from his House District 89 seat.

A House panel dismissed a citizen’s impeachment petition seeking his removal from office after determining impeachment does not apply to legislators under the state’s constitution.

Gov. Andy Beshear will set the date for a special election to fill the seat.

State Senator Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete of Arizona resigned on August 10, following his arrest on felony charges involving sexual abuse of two minors.

The resignation was immediately effective.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will choose a replacement from a list of nominees presented by a citizens’ committee.

The replacement will serve out the rest of Navarrete’s term, which ends in January 2023.
