BREAKING: Top Democrat Resigns Over Sex Scandal
October 28, 2017 By Robert Gehl
Just days after he was chosen to lead his fellow Democrats in the Florida State Senate, Sen. Jeff Clemens, a married man, admitted to an affair with a former political lobbyist.
Clemens admitted the affair Thursday and apologized in a written statement. “I used poor judgment and hurt people that I care about, and for that I apologized long ago,” he said. “But I also owe my constituents and colleagues an apology and I intend to do just that.
“No excuses are good enough or can undo the pain I’ve caused. I have spent a lot of time, long before I was contacted by a reporter, focusing on improving my behavior. I will always aim to be a better person, be as honest in my private life as I am with my public one, and continue to seek forgiveness from the people I have wronged.”
