ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin has said he will not resign his seat on the Otero County Commission as he awaits trial in connection with the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol.
Griffin made the declaration in response to a press release issued last week by county commissioners Gerald Matherly and Vickie Marquardt calling for Griffin's resignation, The Alamogordo Daily News reported Saturday.
The topic took up more than an hour of the commission's meeting last Thursday after it was placed on the agenda for discussion. Matherly attempted to have it removed from the agenda, but was overruled. Marquardt defended the letter and reasons for requesting it.
