Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix Resigns [VIDEO]
Bill Dix has resigned his position as an Iowa State Senator and the chamber's Majority Leader.
"Mister President and Madame Speaker, I resign my position as Iowa State Senator and Majority Leader effective at 2 PM today, March 12, 2018," Dix wrote in a short, but effective letter addressed to Senate President Jack Whitver and Speaker Linda Upmeyer.
Dix gave no further explanation for his immediate resignation. His abrupt departure from the Iowa Senate, however, comes just hours after a video was posted online that appears to show him kissing a female lobbyist at a Des Moines bar.
