Ethics Watch Calls for Resignation of Jefferson County School Board Member Vince Chowdhury
By The Denver Post,
July 11, 2008

JEFFERSON COUNTY — The Jefferson County School Board has given member Vince Chowdhury until July 25 to respond to its request for his resignation.

Chowdhury pleaded guilty last Tuesday to third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, for slapping and allegedly choking his 16-year-old daughter.

The arrest affidavit states Chowdhury became angry after he arrived home on June 17 and his wife and daughter did not quickly open the garage door when he honked his horn.

Though his wife and daughter apologized, Chowdhury said he thought his daughter was being disrespectful and slapped her face. Chowdhury told deputies he "just lost it."

After he received a one-year suspended jail sentence earlier this week, Chowdhury apologized.

He said at the time that he hadn't decided about his school board term or candidacy as a Democrat for state House District 22.
