Embattled PA state RepZabel announced that he will resign his seat effective March 16. Zabel is a Delaware County Democrat who was facing numerous allegations of sexual harassment, including by fellow state Rep. Abby Major.
Zabel's resignation came just hours after Armstrong County state Rep. Abby Major , a Western Pennsylvania Republican, held a news conference where she outlined her own personal encounter with Zabel in November of last year.This subtraction for the Democrats means they will only hold a one-seat state majority and then likely a split House after a May special election is held to fill a vacant but heavily Republican seat in Monroe and Northampton Counties.
Perez also shared text messages from Zabel the next day, wherein he said he was sorry for his “bad manners.” After three special elections in February handed the Democrats a slim majority, they elected Philadelphia Democrat McClinton, the first female speaker. McClinton never publicly called for the Delaware lawmaker's resignation; she told a local radio station she was not his boss and she “can’t just demand someone to give me their resignation.”
