Rep.-elect Ben McAdams, D-Utah, submitted his letter of resignation Monday as the mayor of Salt Lake County — and designed it in a way that will keep him fully employed until he joins Congress.
His resignation is effective Jan. 2. The new Congress convenes on Jan. 3. Besides continuing as mayor, he has been busy organizing his new congressional office and staff.
His two-page resignation letter outlined some of the county’s accomplishments during his six years as mayor, and stressed that many of them resulted from bipartisan work. His campaign for Congress called for more such cooperation.
