   TALLAHASSEE — State Rep. Ramon Alexander, D-Tallahassee, said he   
   will not seek reelection in 2022 amid allegations that he sexually   
   harassed a former employee at Florida A&M University.   
      
   The surprise move sent shock waves through Florida Democratic   
   circles Thursday. Alexander was slated to be the leader of the House   
   Democratic caucus for the next two years — and as recently as   
   Wednesday, the party said it would not look to replace him amid the   
   sexual harassment allegations, according to Politico.   
      
   A man who used to work in Florida A&M’s athletics department has   
   accused Alexander of sending nude photos of himself, and of groping   
   him on three occasions, according to the Democrat.   
      
   Alexander has said he had a consensual relationship with the man.   
   The man denied this to the Democrat, saying he turned away   
   Alexander’s advances.   
      
   Alexander, who is married with two children, was widely seen as a   
   rising star in Florida Democratic politics.
