- The resolution was passed 4-1 Tuesday night
- Bridget Ziegler voted against the motion
A Florida school board has passed a resolution demanding the resignation of Moms for Liberty co-founder whose GOP chairman husband has been accused of rape of a woman who said she was in a three-way relationship with the couple.
The Sarasota County School Board voted 4-1 during Tuesday’s meeting asking Bridget Ziegler to voluntarily step down from the panel.
Ziegler voted against the measure.
The board can not force her to resign and Zeigler has given no indication she plans to leave her post.
The resolution was drafted in the wake of a criminal investigation into Ziegler’s husband Christian Ziegler who has not been charged.

The resolution was drafted by the board’s chair Karen Rose.
‘It’s not about the left, it’s not about the right it’s about students,’ Rose said introducing the motion.
‘Any proposal I put forward is based on instruction, learning and what is in the best interest of our students. Safety and security is foremost.’
Her motion, which is not legally binding, was seconded by fellow board member Robyn Marinelli.
Ziegler did not respond at length to the motion, but asked the board’s lawyer Patrick Duggan to reiterate that that motion ‘does not have any teeth’.
