Indiana Senate Democrats today re-elected Greg Taylor the leader of their caucus, despite allegations of sexual harassment.
The Indianapolis Star ran a story Monday on accusations that Taylor had inappropriate contact with three women over since 2008.
Taylor denied the allegations, but did issue an apology…
“As an elected official, I am responsible for maintaining high professionalism and respecting the boundaries of all I engage with,” Taylor said in the statement. “While this has always been my goal, there have been times when I may have blurred the lines and behaved in a manner that potentially made my colleagues or those who witnessed my actions uncomfortable. While it was never my intent to cause harm, I acknowledge that I have fallen short, and for this, I apologize.”
Democrats also elected state Sen. Andrea Hunley, D-Indianapolis, to serve as assistant minority leader, and state Sen. Rodney Pol Jr., D-Chesterton, who will serve as caucus chair.
Tuesday is Organization Day.
