Jennifer Carnahan, chairperson for the Republican Party of Minnesota, announced Thursday night that she will resign.

The announcement came as party officials voted on whether or not she should be removed due to her ties to an alleged sex trafficker, and the handling of sexual harassment allegations.

“I’m not going to stand for my name, professional and personal, being defamed in this way,” Carnahan told WCCO Radio Wednesday. “It just simply is wrong.”

Republican lawmakers, and even members of the board, say there needs to be a full investigation into all of these claims.
