Following an exclusive story by Tallahassee Reports, the campaign manager for Tallahassee mayoral candidate Jeremy Matlow, Kristellys Estanga, has resigned.
Estanga is also the campaign manager for PJ Perez, a candidate for city commisison seat 3.
TR published a story on Thursday implicating the Matlow campaign in a political operation that used a fake Facebook page to make it look like a Tallahassee conservative group was attacking Talietha Edwards, a black candidate running for city commission seat 3. Matlow is backing PJ Perez for the seat and viewed Edwards as competition.
In a statement by Estanga, provided below, she admitted she was behind the fake Facebook page and said she act alone.
However, sources tell TR the operation was a “team effort” and more people than Estanga were involved.
TR is working on confirming Matlow’s role in the controversy.
