'Though Sen. Davis continues to deny any wrongdoing, recent events have made it impractical for him to continue his work in the Senate.'
SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, was stripped of all committee assignments and urged to resign from the Utah State Senate following the release of an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations.
Senate Minority Leader Karen Mayne, D-West Valley City, said in a statement that Sen. Davis had resigned from the caucus. Late Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Davis announced his retirement from the Utah State Legislature, effective Nov. 19. Sen. Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX 13 News. He previously has declined to comment on the allegations leveled against him.
"We had a good meeting with the senators and our statement speaks for itself," Sen. Mayne told FOX 13 News as she left the closed door meeting. Sen. Davis, who is one of the longest serving legislators on Utah's Capitol Hill, has previously been accused of improper behavior. Elizabeth Converse, a former House Democratic staffer who had leveled misconduct accusations against Sen. Davis, reacted to the report's release.
