Camden County Commissioner Steve Dougan: “I’m Not Gonna Step Down”

Backlash directed at Camden County Commissioner Steve Dougan, accused of sexual harassment and retaliation toward individuals in the administrative building, took the spotlight during Tuesday’s commission meeting.

During the meeting, a censure resolution issued by the Camden County Republican Central Committee was presented with some in the crowd calling for Dougan to pay the county $15,000 for the outside investigation into the issue and to further resign from the position.

Following public comments put on the record, Dougan was given a chance to respond during which he stated that he will not step down.

Spending the funds for that outside investigation was approved by the commission.

The investigation determined that a sexual harassment judgement against Dougan could be rejected by a jury or a judge but that it was clear there would be a case against Dougan for retaliation.
