• •If you commit certain serious crimes, you can't hold a government job.
• •The crimes that stop you from working in government are listed in the state's rules.

A person is elected as a mayor but was convicted of fraud a few years ago.

Because fraud is one of the serious crimes listed, this person cannot be mayor and will be removed from the job.
