Town of Culpeper Councilman resigns following alleged inappropriate comment
Councilman resigns following alleged inappropriate comment
Maria Basileo | Culpeper Times Oct 28, 2021 Updated 52 min ago
Town of Culpeper Councilman Keith Brown submitted his resignation Wednesday following an alleged social media comment targeting a fellow councilmember.
A Facebook account seemingly belonging to Brown commented on a post on Councilwoman Jaime Clancey's Facebook page about seeing former president Barack Obama speak in Richmond this weekend.
The comment, among other things, called Clancey a "hooker" and alleged inappropriate dress during meetings.
Brown was unable to be reached for comment.
The following day, Brown, who was first elected in 2019, submitted his resignation, effective immediately, to Mayor Mike Olinger.
