TALLAHASSEE — State Rep. Ramon Alexander, D-Tallahassee, said he
will not seek reelection in 2022 amid allegations that he sexually
harassed a former employee at Florida A&M University.

The surprise move sent shock waves through Florida Democratic
circles Thursday. Alexander was slated to be the leader of the House
Democratic caucus for the next two years — and as recently as
Wednesday, the party said it would not look to replace him amid the
sexual harassment allegations, according to Politico.

A man who used to work in Florida A&M’s athletics department has
accused Alexander of sending nude photos of himself, and of groping
him on three occasions, according to the Democrat.

Alexander has said he had a consensual relationship with the man.
The man denied this to the Democrat, saying he turned away
Alexander’s advances.

Alexander, who is married with two children, was widely seen as a
rising star in Florida Democratic politics.
