LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Bill Garmer announced his resignation Monday, saying he was exhausted after last week's elections that dealt Democrats a series of setbacks.
Garmer, a trial lawyer from Lexington, said the party's widespread losses in federal and state elections had nothing to do with his decision.
"I would have done this whichever way it went because I had realized I was just stretched beyond the limits of my emotional and physical energy," Garmer told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday.
Garmer took over the party's reins during a difficult period in which it had lost the governorship for the first time in a generation.
