Sarasota school board member Bridget Ziegler is facing backlash and calls for her resignation after being involved in a three-way sex scandal with her husband and another woman. Ziegler, known for her conservative views and advocacy for traditional Christian values, has been criticized for hypocrisy in light of the scandal. Court records show that Ziegler and her husband had a consensual encounter with the woman who is now accusing him of rape.
Despite public outcry and calls for her to step down, Ziegler remains on the school board, with citizens expressing frustration at her presence causing distractions and turning meetings into a circus. Board Chairwoman Karen Rose indicated that only the governor has the power to remove Ziegler from her position. Governor Ron DeSantis, who has supported Ziegler in the past, appointing her to various boards, has yet to take action in response to the scandal.
During a recent meeting, Ziegler did not address the public comments and left without speaking to the media. Her husband has denied the rape allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual. The community members who spoke out at the meeting expressed determination to continue voicing their concerns until Ziegler is removed. The situation has drawn extensive public attention and criticism, with many questioning Ziegler’s ability to continue serving on the school board given the controversy surrounding her personal life.
