(The Center Square) — A Maine Republican lawmaker who was censured for a social media post about transgender athlete is agreeing to drop a lawsuit against the state Legislature after her voting and speaking rights were restored. 

In a letter to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, lawyers for state Rep. Laurel Libby said the Auburn Republican won’t contest a motion from Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey’s office to dismiss her appeal of a lower court ruling, because the case has been resolved.
