Wexler will resign seat to head Mideast center
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) will announce he is resigning his seat tomorrow to become head of a Middle East group, the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, founded by Slim-fast businessman S. Daniel Abraham, Hill sources say tonight.
Earlier: Jockeying for Wexler's House seat is already underway, reports Josh Kraushaar.
Democratic foreign policy hands said earlier today that Wexler, an important early Obama supporter in Jewish Democratic circles, was seeking to transition out of the Hill to private sector work where he could make more money and pay for children's school tuitions, etc.
S. Danny Abraham is a long time associate and supporter of Wexler from his Palm Beach district, major Democratic party donor close to the Clintons, and dovish pro-Israel philanthropist. The Middle East center Wexler will head is revived from an earlier incarnation. Among its past associates, Clinton-era DAS Toni Verstandig and Dan Rothem.
In a speech earlier this month on Middle East policy at the Center for American Progress, Wexler strongly defended Obama's Middle East peace push.
