After days of enduring heavy criticism, Broward’s controversial supervisor of elections said Tuesday she might not seek another term in office.
Brenda Snipes told reporters “it is time to move on” from the position she has held for 15 years as head of Broward County’s elections. Her current term runs through 2020.
“I think I have served the purpose that I came for, which is to provide a credible election product for Broward,” she said.
The decision isn’t final, she said, because she still has to talk to her family about it.
Snipes’ announcement came after a reporter asked her response to a tweet from former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who appointed Snipes, calling for her removal from office.
“There is no question that Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts, undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process,” Bush tweeted.

Snipes called the tweet “his opinion,” and said she has worked tirelessly since Bush picked her for the position. She has since been elected to the post four times and would be up for reelection in 2020.
