Lobbyist in Dix Kissing Video Resigns

The Des Moines Register reports an Iowa Statehouse lobbyist has resigned from her job days after a video was released showing her kissing a state senator. Iowa League of Cities Executive Director Alan Kemp on Thursday confirmed the resignation of Lindsey McCune, but he declined to give more information. The League promotes policy in the Statehouse on behalf of cities. The website Iowa Starting Line published video Monday morning that showed McCune kissing former Sen. Bill Dix, of Shell Rock, at a Des Moines bar. The married Republican resigned from office hours later. He served as the Senate majority leader. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds announced Thursday that a special election will be held April 10 to fill Dix’s district seat.
