Link to tweet
Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said Thursday that he received a resignation letter from Clarke. Christenson says the letter doesnt give the reason for Clarkes resignation.
Clarkes spokeswoman did not immediately respond to telephone messages and emails seeking comment.
Clarke rose to national prominence in recent years with provocative social media posts, appearances on conservative media programs and his staunch support of President Donald Trump. Clarke announced in May that hed taken a job at the Department of Homeland Security, but the agency never confirmed it. He later said he withdrew his name.
Some Wisconsin conservatives had encouraged Clarke to challenge U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, but he repeatedly rejected their overtures.
