LPD Secretary Resignation Speech

Sept. 27th, 2021

It is with profound sadness that I must report that I am hereby stepping down from my role as the LPD Secretary and all related activities in the state and three county parties. This is due to some personal issues, namely the fragility of my mental health and the effect this has on my physical health and my family.

Please understand that I do not wish to step down, but in order to be at my best, I need to remove extra stress from my life. It has been a pleasure to work with each and every single one of you and to get to know all of you. I do hope that the individual friendship I have with each of you may continue. You may still reach me at my Udel e-mail address or my telephone number if need be to help with the transition of my departure.

Please be kind to one another, just as you have been kind to me. Thank you for everything. May Jesus Christ, my Lord, savior, and God, continue to bless you all.
