Huge turnout expected as Sarasota School Board votes on asking Bridget Ziegler to resign

A workshop by the board is scheduled for earlier in the day, beginning at 1 p.m. The meeting itself starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday. All meetings can be viewed here.
The Sarasota School Board on Tuesday will vote on a resolution that urges board member Bridget Ziegler to resign, saying that her continued presence poses an “irreparably harmful distraction,” as her husband is the subject of a police investigation for sexual assault.

As a co-founder of the far-right group Moms for Liberty whose re-election to the school board last year was boosted by extremist groups like the Proud Boys, Bridget Ziegler garnered global media attention this month, after she acknowledged a past consensual sexual relationship involving her, her husband and another woman.

That woman has alleged Christian Ziegler raped her in early October, after a proposed liaison with him and Bridget fell through.
