Sen. Nate Boulton, D-Des Moines, has been promoted in the Iowa Legislature after previously being demoted because of sexual misconduct allegations.
The new Iowa Senate minority leader said Thursday that Democrats have promoted a senator previously accused of sexual harassment to a leadership position because he was reelected and is knowledgeable about labor issues.
Three women accused Sen. Nate Boulton, D-Des Moines, of sexual misconduct in 2018. Boulton dropped out of the Democratic primary for governor, but resisted calls from some of his fellow Democrats to resign from the Iowa Senate.
Boulton won reelection this year after he was unopposed in the Democratic primary and had no Republican challenger in the general election.
