Del. Jill Carter has resigned her seat in the House of Delegates to take a job in Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh’s administration.
In a letter dated Dec. 23, Carter told House Speaker Michael E. Busch her resignation will take effect Monday. Pugh announced Friday that she has appointed Carter as director of the city’s Office of Civil Rights and Wage Enforcement.
Carter, 52, has represented Baltimore’s 41st District in the House since 2003. In her new position starting Tuesday, Carter will oversee investigations of police brutality, wage theft and a host of alleged civil rights violations.
She will earn $100,000 a year.
