NC Democratic Chief Resigns
RALEIGH --
The executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party resigned Sunday amid increasing ire among party activists over high turnover at the party headquarters and harassment allegations there.
Jay Parmley, who became the top administrator last year after holding a similar post in South Carolina, submitted a resignation letter in which he vehemently denied harassing any party worker.
Party leaders raised concerns after emails began circulating in the media late last week that mentioned the allegations. The party has been guarded in directly addressing the substance of the allegations.
"Let me be clear: I have never harassed any employee at any time at the (state party) or in any other job," Parmley wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. Parmley also said that the more than 1,000 people who have worked with him over the years "know this kind of behavior would be unconscionable to me."
