Every Nevada Democratic Party staff member quit after Democratic socialists won party leadership roles, according to a new report.
Alana Mounce, the partyโs executive director, reportedly notified the newly elected party chair, Judith Whitmer, that she and other staff members were resigning, according to The Intercept.
The partyโs operations director, research director, communications director and finance director all resigned after the left-wing candidates of the โNV Dems Progressive Slate,โ which was run by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the Left Caucus, beat out the Democratic Partyโs โProgressive Unity Slateโ on Saturday.
All but one of the winning candidates is a dues-paying member of a local DSA.
โI knew I couldnโt work with her,โ an anonymous staffer said of Whitmer, โand watch her destroy the years of hard work so many operatives put into making our state party the best state party in the country.โ
Whitmer told the outlet she and the other newcomers โwerenโt really surprised, in that we were prepared forโ the mass resignation.
โBut what hit us by surprise and was sort of shocking is that for a slate that claimed that they were all about unity, and kept this false narrative of division going on throughout the entire campaign โ in fact they kept intensifying that โ thatโs what was surprising about it, was the willingness to just walk away, instead of working with us,โ she said.
