Christian Ziegler investigated over alleged sexual assault
Christian Ziegler, the chair of the Republican Party of Florida, is under investigation by the Sarasota Police Department, though details of the allegations are not specified. Ziegler and his attorney, Derek Byrd, claim full cooperation with the investigation and expect eventual exoneration. Ziegler’s wife, Bridget, is a co-founder of Moms for Liberty and a school board member in Sarasota County. The group, which emphasizes opposing liberal “indoctrination” in schools, stands by Bridget Ziegler in this situation. The news of the investigation broke just before a debate between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom, both of whom have engaged with Moms for Liberty. The Republican Party of Sarasota County expressed shock and disappointment over the reports, while Nikki Fried, chair of the Democratic Party of Florida, called for Ziegler’s immediate resignation.
