PUEBLO, Colo. — Pueblo City Council member Charles Hernandez resigned on Tuesday to spend more time with his family. He was appointed to the office in March.
Earlier this year, Hernandez filled an at-large seat, which was held by former council member Heather Graham, who became the Mayor of Pueblo.

The City of Pueblo will now have to appoint someone else to fill Hernandez's vacant seat.
