FDP Chair Karen Thurman Finally Wants to Spend More Time with Her Family

We’d like to be more gracious about this, but then again, we would have liked for Alex Sink, Alan Grayson, Ron Klein, Deborah Gianoulis, and so many others not to have lost. But things being what they are, let me just say, “Praise Jebus! Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman is stepping down!”

After many months of reflection and discussion with my family, our staff, and many of you, I have decided to retire as Chair of the Florida Democratic Party. In the coming months I look forward to not only spending more time with my husband, John, my children, and grandchildren, but also continuing to serve the Florida Democratic Party. I have pledged to do everything in my power to help ensure that the Chair we elect in the near future has a seamless transition and is ready to succeed in the role.

Don’t worry Karen, things will be fine without you. Please feel free to spend all your time with your family. You’ve done enough for Florida Democrats.
