SANTA FE – Under pressure from top state elected officials due to his response to two recent sexual misconduct claims, New Mexico Democratic Party Chairman Richard Ellenberg abruptly resigned from his post Tuesday.
His resignation came just three days after Democrats held their 2018 pre-primary convention in Albuquerque, and it leaves the party facing leadership questions with less than three months before the June 5 primary election.
“I regret the way in which I have managed complaints of survivors who have come forward about sexual harassment, and take full responsibility to continue to learn and grow so that I can be an advocate and ally in the future,” Ellenberg wrote in a memo to Democratic state central committee members.

That looks like a hot mess.
