Gwen Graham, a top Democratic gubernatorial candidate, has asked Florida Democratic Party Chairman Stephen Bittel to resign following reports that he was “creepy” and “demeaning” toward women in the workplace.
Graham said this morning she called Bittel — who has apologized for his behavior and did not deny the account of six unnamed women who talked to POLITICO Florida — to tell him he should resign.
“No one should have to work in an uncomfortable environment,” Graham said in a statement. “Bittel’s behavior and the atmosphere he has created is unacceptable. He must resign.”
Andrew Gillum, a Democrat who is also running for governor, has also called on Bittel to step down.
