On Monday, Congressman Tom Garrett (R-VA) announced he would not seek reelection for a second term in Congress due to his ongoing battle with alcoholism. After a week of chaos in his office, rumors began flying about his departure from Washington, D.C. Garrett’s chief of staff, Jimmy Keady, resigned amidst a damaging story in Politico about Garrett’s treatment of staffers.
The Politico story accused Congressman Garrett of treating some of his staffers as servants. Four anonymous sources claimed that Garrett made them perform personal, not professional, tasks in the workplace. The staffers were forced to act as the Garrett family’s personal chauffeurs and maids. One ex-aide even said they were put in charge of cleaning the family dog’s doo-doo off the carpet.
