A former intern and campaign staffer of state Sen. Gene Davis accused the longtime lawmaker of sexual misconduct late Wednesday, the second accusation of inappropriate behavior against him in two years.
“It’s my duty as chair to take allegations into consideration, especially if there are patterns,” Lopez said in an interview. “I still have the ability, and the responsibility, to create a safe party for participation.”, alleging Davis rubbed her butt with a towel trying to get dirt off of it while she was taking photos and videos at his home this spring for his campaign.
Multiple sources, including Davis, told The Tribune that the senator was investigated for a sexual misconduct-related complaint by the Salt Lake County Democratic Party in March. It’s unclear if that complaint was related to Weglinski. A screenshot of an email from Utah Democratic Party Chair Diane Lewis to executive committee members that says the party has "talking points" about an Instagram post accusing Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, of "sexual misconduct".
Lewis later told executive committee members to refer all media requests to the party’s communications director. Efforts by The Tribune to contact Lewis about the misconduct allegation and “talking points” were not returned by the party chair. Nadia Mahallati, the former vice chair of the Utah Democratic Party, said the sexual harassment policies in place at the Utah Democratic Party are not the problem — it’s current party officials’ failure to implement them.
