Just a month before the election, Broward Democratic Party Chair Cynthia Busch is grappling with complaints over her second job — a paid campaign consultant.
Members of the Democratic Party organization grumble that Busch shouldn’t be pirouetting between consulting work and the “most important elections in modern times.”
Every minute she works as a consultant she is not working on electing Democrats, critics huffed.
Others complained that there is an inherent problem with being party chief and a political consultant.
“It’s a conflict,” one person on the party’s executive committee charged.
Busch fired back:
“I’m very upfront about it…I’m not getting rich by any means….I’m still a full-time party chair. Anything else I do, I do in my own time”
Her supporters note that Busch still needs to earn a living because Broward Democratic Chair is a non-paid position.
