Greg Taylor

Indiana Senate Democrats elected a new leader Wednesday, ousting Senator Greg Taylor from the role. That comes after an Indianapolis Star story this week revealed three more women are accusing Taylor of sexual harassment.

Several dozen women sent a letter to Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl, pictured here, calling for action in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against another high-ranking state Democratic official.

Indiana Democratic Party Chair Mike Schmuhl said he will work with leaders to build trust within the party after a series of sexual harassment allegation against Democratic officials.

Sen. Greg Taylor (D-Indianapolis) read a prepared statement to reporters at the General Assembly's Organization Day Tuesday, but refused to answer any questions.

The Indianapolis Star revealed three women said they were sexually harassed by Taylor, both verbally and physically, while he’s served as a lawmaker.

Some Indiana counties have more than double the judicial officers needed to handle court cases, while others are understaffed.

Disagreements between the House and Senate chambers aren’t unusual. But this session featured some particularly stark divides between the Republican supermajorities.
