Iowa Democratic state Sen. Nate Boulton announced he would suspend his campaign for governor Thursday after being accused of sexual misconduct from multiple women.
The announcement comes just weeks before the Iowa Democratic primary and one day after news broke that Boulton allegedly repeatedly grabbed one woman’s buttocks at a bar in 2015, while two others said that Boulton rubbed his crotch against them, pressing his erect penis into their thighs, according to the Des Moines Register.
Boulton, one of the top candidates in the Democratic primary, did not deny the allegations in a statement, Politico reported.
“Today, I am suspending my campaign for governor,” Boulton wrote in a statement. “Democrats must win in November so we can begin to turn our state around,” he said.
