Sacramento -- One of the Legislature's highest-ranking Dem- ocrats suggested Monday that embattled Secretary of State Kevin Shelley should resign, a dramatic sign that support from Shelley's own political party is quickly evaporating.
State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, told The Chronicle she expects Shelley to resign and that it would be better for the party if he did. She questioned whether he can effectively run elections in California.
Shelley faces multiple investigations about a fund-raising scandal and allegations of misconduct in office. He is scheduled to testify under oath before a legislative hearing next week about a state audit that concluded he mismanaged federal voting act money.
People who have spoken with Shelley recently say he has discussed quitting and what he might do after leaving office.
