A former New Mexico county commissioner who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot has been barred from running for future office after a Supreme Court decision on Monday.
The Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the former Otero County Commissioner, making him the only elected official thus far to be disqualified from office in connection with the Capitol attack that disrupted Congress during the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory over then-President Trump.
