Tennessee Republican lawmaker resigns after ethics violation
Serious enough to resign, but not serious enough to get kicked out. Interesting given the recent need to exercise expulsion.
From the article, "Rep. Scotty Campbell, vice chair of the House Republican Caucus, violated the Legislature’s workplace discrimination and harassment policy. The brief Ethics Subcommittee findings document from late March did not provide specifics and said no more information would be released.
Campbell’s resignation came hours after a Nashville TV station confronted him about sexual harassment allegations involving legislative interns.
Campbell declined to provide a detailed account of what happened. Asked by
WTVF-TV on Thursday about the ethics panel's decision, Campbell said, “I had consensual, adult conversations with two adults off property.”
