Early Wednesday morning Prince William County School Board Chairman Ryan Sawyers resigned from his post, a week after he dropped out of the congressional race for the 1st district of Virginia.

What is going on?  Sawyers stated he was resigning for personal and professional reasons.  He posted the following letter to Vice Chairman Lillie Jessie on his Facebook page:

Sawyers has a reputation for engaging in personal warfare with those he dislikes. He is also known for suing people at the drop of a hat. His tenure as school board chairman has been contentious and riddled with dissension. I can’t imagine that many people are sorry to see him go. Perhaps Prince William County can get back to the business of educating students rather than engaging in one man’s personal battles.
