The mayor of White Plains resigned yesterday, two months after his conviction on domestic-violence charges brought by his wife.

Democratic Mayor Adam Bradley, 49, who is appealing, said he realized he needs more time to spend on personal matters than a mayor can afford.

Bradley, who has been pressured to resign by many residents and politicians, said he was not acknowledging guilt.

Rather, he said, he needed time to focus on “exonerating my name and reputation.”

Bradley did not mention his wife, Fumiko Bradley. A call to her lawyer, Neal Comer, was not immediately returned.

Bradley said a special election would be held later this year.
