Description | Marcel Groen announced he is resigning as chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party after being asked by Governor Tom Wolf after an interview with the Daily News.
“I have always believed that the Commonwealth’s Chief Executive should have final say on whom the Chairman of the Party should be. The Governor’s staff informed me that he no longer wants me to serve as Chairman of the Party. While I have done no wrong and disagree with the Governor’s assessment, I do not wish to be a distraction to a Party that has to rectify gerrymandered maps and elect strong and civically responsible candidates throughout Pennsylvania. As such, I will honor his request and will immediately resign my position as Party Chair,” Groen wrote in an email to state party members. |
