"I will be resigning from the NJ General Assembly effective 10-17-15," she wrote in a brief statement to the media released Friday afternoon. "It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve in the third generation of the Littell family in the people's house."
McHose announced her departure from the Legislature Jan.1, after being named administrator for Franklin Borough. Since then observers have been waiting to see when she would actually leave the seat representing the historically Republican district.
Earlier this year, McHose had endorsed a Sussex County freeholder, Gail Phoebus, to succeed her in the 24th District. She also said at the time that she was holding off on resigning in order to finish work on pending legislation.
McHose served in the Assembly for 12 years, representing a district that consists mostly of Sussex County towns but also includes parts of Morris and Warren counties. She is the daughter of Robert Littell, who served in the Legislature for 40 years and who died in 2014.
