After surviving an attempt to legally remove her from office for alleged incompetence and going public about her struggles with mental illness, Dallas County, Texas, District Attorney Susan Hawk announced her resignation.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must tender my resignation as Dallas County district attorney. It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve this office and the citizens of Dallas County alongside you, but my health needs my undivided attention,” Hawk wrote in a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last week, which she released to The Dallas Morning News. “More than my words could express, I appreciate the grace I’ve been shown me I’ve tried to balance my health and my duties. This has been a very difficult decision for me.”
