Florida Democrat Apologizes for Affair with Lobbyist


October 27, 2017 at 7:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Florida state Sen. Jeff Clemens (D), the incoming leader of Florida’s Senate Democrats, apologized for having an affair with a lobbyist during the last legislative session, Politico reports.

Said Clemens: “I used poor judgment and hurt people that I care about, and for that I apologized long ago. But I also owe my constituents and colleagues an apology and I intend to do just that.”

“The affair between Clemens and lobbyist Devon West came to a head at the end of the regular spring lawmaking session, when West came into possession of Clemens’ Apple laptop, and gained access to all his contacts and personal information and then informed his wife of the tryst.”

I doubt Clemens will look favorably on the desires of her clients. A good lobbyist would have told him all the information she had but add she had not shared the information with anyone.
