…. for personal reasons. The News Journal alert I just received described the decision as being abrupt. From the First State Politics blog over at the NJ, Sigler resigned via a letter to party leaders this morning, saying:
“It is with deep regret and a profound disappointment that I must inform you that, due to newly emergent and totally unexpected circumstances that are completely beyond my control, I am unable to continue to serve you as the Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Delaware,” said Sigler, a former National Rifle Association president who took over the party after the devastating 2010 elections.
Sigler said he could not comment further “due to the nature and origin of these unforeseen circumstances.”
Nelly Jordan, the Vice Chair that was just elected last month as a tea party grass roots champion to shake up the RINO establishment, now takes over as Acting Chairman, and a special convention will be held in 60 days to elect a new chairman. Pass the popcorn. Because I suspect if Jordan is not elected or is challenged, the Sussex Theocrats may not be pleased.
