The chairman of the Florida Democratic Party resigned Friday after staffers accused the official of inappropriate behavior toward women.
Chairman Stephen Bittel left his post as six former Florida Democratic Party staffers and consultants told Politico he had allegedly created an unprofessional work environment for women. All four Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidates also had called for Bittel’s resignation.
“When my personal situation becomes distracting to our core mission of electing Democrats and making Florida better, it is time for me to step aside,” Bittel said. “I am proud of what we have built as a Party and the wins we have had for Florida families, but I apologize for all who have felt uncomfortable during my tenure at the Democratic Party.”
Bittel added that he was working with leadership to set a date to elect his successor.
