Anaheim Dem councilman steps down under pressure - texted offensive comments about councilwoman
Under growing pressure from council colleagues and the Democratic Party of OC, Anaheim Councilman Jordan Brandman stepped down from his council seat Thursday, Aug. 5.
Brandman has faced criticism and made public apologies since the public revelation a few months ago of offensive comments he texted to another person last year about then Councilwoman Denise Barnes.
In a Thursday resignation letter to the city clerk, Brandman, 41, said, “There are periods in our lives when we are faced with competing career and personal priorities. For that reason I have decided it is in the best interest of me and my family to focus on them at this time.”
After a City Council meeting in February 2020, Brandman was texting with a resident when he referred to Barnes with a vulgar term for female genitals and said he would “rip her (expletive) (breasts) off.”
