State Rep. Margo Davidson, D-164 of Upper Darby, announced her resignation Thursday after being criminally charged with theft related to fraudulent per diem charges and campaign finance reporting violations, as well as hindering apprehension or prosecution for asking a witness to lie to the Office of the Attorney General.
âState representatives swear an oath to use their office for public service â not fraudulent personal gain,â said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro in a release announcing the charges. âWe will uphold the laws of the commonwealth without bias, and we will continue to uncover corruption wherever it is found.â
Delaware County Democratic Party Chair Colleen Guiney had no comment Thursday. Delco GOP Chair Tom McGarrigle could not be reached for comment.
