Lansing — Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic candidate for Michigan governor, said Thursday she has received the resignation of campaign manager Keenan Pontoni, citing concerns over allegations of “inappropriate behavior” with former co-workers.
The former Senate minority leader said she received a “credible report” Wednesday that Pontoni had engaged in inappropriate behavior with people in the workplace “a number of years ago,” indicating the allegations stem from incidents before he joined her campaign in August.
“For that reason I have asked for and received his resignation effective immediately,” Whitmer said in a statement.
Whitmer’s campaign declined to elaborate on the statement or allegations against Pontoni. Political director Dana Sherry will serve as interim campaign manager, said Whitmer spokeswoman Annie Ellison.
