The Utah Democratic Party has suspended Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, from all party activities following accusations of sexual harassment leveled by a former legislative intern.
Party Executive Director Thom DeSirant said in a statement that Democratic party leaders had asked Sen. Davis to"voluntarily step down," and he refused.
Instead, Sen. Davis will now be suspended from"all party events at any level, pending the outcome of the Utah State Senate’s independent investigation. We are also formally requesting the Senate make the results of their investigation available to us, once complete, for further review and action." Sen. Davis has not responded to repeated messages from FOX 13 News seeking comment. He lost his primary election this year to Nate Blouin, and will not be in office by the time the 2023 legislative session starts in January.
