Nathan Fletcher, accused in a lawsuit of sexual harassment and assault, announces he will resign from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
Nathan Fletcher — the Democratic San Diego County supervisor who abandoned his bid for a California Senate seat he seemed sure to win days before being— said late Wednesday that he would resign from the county Board of Supervisors.
“The strain on my wife and family over the past week has been immense and unbearable,” Fletcher wrote in a statementjust after 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. “A combination of my personal mistakes plus false accusations has created a burden that my family shouldn’t have to bear.” Fletcher’s wife, former state Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, declared her support for her husband in a social media post.
Fletcher said the resignation would become effective as soon as he returns from his treatment at an out-of-state facility, but no timetable was mentioned.
