Description
Nathan Fletcher has resigned from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors effective Monday, May 15 at 5 p.m.
In a letter obtained by CBS 8 sent to Fletcher's voters and supporters, Fletcher said "I failed to live to the standards I expect of myself, and those which are rightly demanded of our elected officials. I believe our representatives should be role models and held to the highest standards in both their public and personal lives in a way that honors the public’s trust and confidence. While no one is without flaws and mistakes, I fully accept that I did not live up to this standard, and my resignation is appropriate."
Fletcher announced his scheduled resignation on March 29, amid sexual misconduct allegations from former MTS employee, Grecia Figueroa, who said Fletcher assaulted her on several occasions and used his influence to get her fired. He admitted to the affair but says the allegations of sexual misconduct are false.
