Maryland Democratic Party official resigns over email

By BRIAN WITTE
March 14, 2022

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A Maryland Democratic Party official and longtime party donor has resigned after an email she sent questioning the electability of Black candidates in the state’s governor’s race, the state party chair announced Monday.

Barbara Goldberg Goldman, who was the deputy treasurer for the party in Maryland, “has tendered her resignation and I have accepted it,” Yvette Lewis, the state party chair, said in a statement.

“We do not condone or support the comments in her email,” Lewis wrote in the announcement. “They do not represent the values of the Maryland Democratic Party.”

The resignation was announced a day after Axios reported on an email Goldman sent in December, when she explained why she was endorsing former U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez for the gubernatorial nomination in Maryland.

Reminds me of a few similar people. Sad that this is not getting much attention.

“Three African American males have run statewide for governor and have lost. Maryland is not a blue state. It’s a purple one. This is a fact we must not ignore. In the last 20 years, only eight have been with a Democratic governor. We need a winning team. IMHO.” Barbara Goldberg
