The CEO of the Democratic National Committee is leaving after less than a year on the job, NBC News has learned.
Veteran Democrat operative Jess O’Connell took the helm of the DNC last May with a mandate to help newly installed Chairman Tom Perez turn around a troubled party organization that was struggling after years of neglect and a brutal 2016 that included accusations of favoritism in the primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, the hacking of internal emails, and the loss to President Donald Trump.
O’Connell will leave the party stabilized, if not yet fully recovered, after wins last year in Virginia and Alabama, and her decision to leave is a personal one, a DNC official told NBC News, timed to cause minimal disruption ahead of November's midterm elections.
But O'Connell's departure comes just months after the DNC ousted its finance director following a period of weak fundraising, as well as a shakeup last year that reignited tensions with Sanders' allies. Still, the party has found itself subject to fewer negative headlines of late as fundraising started to improve and vacancies are filled.
In a farewell email to DNC staff on Monday night, O’Connell thanked them and said she was proud of their work, while not offering a specific reason for her departure.
Perez quickly launched a search for a new CEO. O’Connell, who previously held a top job at the Democratic women's group Emily’s List, will help with the transition after she leaves next month.
Perez thanked O’Connell in the email for progress made under her watch. "When Jess walked in the door, the Democratic Party was broken," Perez wrote.

The putrid stench of rotting cabbage and urine was probably just too much to bear any longer.
Wow I did the one work search and it did not come up!???
I hope so.
I see McCabe was “removed” and did not step down.
Haha!
Exactly!
Got news for you, amigo. Any party that HATES whites for their skin color, HATES America and all of its fine institutions, HATES police and military, flings our borders wide open to the world, brings in tens of millions of illiterates from south of the border to become democrat voters, believes in the fairy tale of global warming, wantonly murders tens of millions of innocent babes (mostly black babes, too), HATES the Constitution, and would happily disarm every American is still horribly evil and broken. I don't think you can ever find your way back from the depths of darkness in your hearts and souls.
Obama covering his looting.....
“one work search”
?
Accusations? A blind man could see it.
I was a little nervous at first, I was afraid either Abott or Costello left the job.
Me thinks they should hold off the Academy Awards. I think we are about to see some of the best acting of the year coming from a variety of Democratic politicians and media people. Stay tuned.
Maybe we should come up with our own nominations in the next few weeks.
They're broke, and the heavy donors won't touch them after Hillary pooched the election. And Trump has the working class in the palm of his hand. Their base is now tattooed urban hipsters with a copy of the Communist Manifesto in their Armani shoulder bags. Creeps and losers, in short.
“2016 that included accusations of favoritism in the primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders“
Accusations? This is documented fact.
