Democratic National Committee chief executive Amy Dacey has resigned in the wake of email leaks that greatly embarrassed the party just before the national convention.
Dacey made her decision known on Tuesday,
sources told Politico, and follows the departure of party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who stepped down last week.
Among the leaked emails, one showed Brad Marshall, the party's top financial officer, saying they should emphasize religion in Kentucky and West Virginia, where Clinton rival Bernie Sanders would be vulnerable to an attack due to his rumored atheism, and possibly for being Jewish, to which Dacey replied in an email "AMEN,"
according to Hot Air.
Dacey will join Squared Communications in Washington, where she'll provide support to the Democratic party,
the Associated Press reported.
"As one of the top campaign strategists in our party, and with our experiences together on presidential, Senate and congressional campaigns, Amy will help our firm's clients navigate this and future election cycles," Michael Meehan, founder and CEO Squared, said in a statement obtained by AP.
