Nov 9: Dayton joins chorus of political leaders calling for state Sen. Dan Schoen to resign

Gov. Mark Dayton has joined Democratic candidates for governor, DFL Party leaders and a top Republican in calling for the resignation of DFL state Sen. Dan Schoen, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment during his time in office.

“The reported acts of harassment from Senator Schoen are totally unacceptable and unbefitting of the office in which he serves,” Dayton said in his statement. “This behavior cannot be tolerated in Minnesota's workplaces or in our communities.”

The story, first reported by MinnPost late Wednesday evening, detailed behavior from Schoen that ranged from groping a woman to persistent and unwanted invitations to meet. One woman, who asked to not be identified, said he sent her a photo of male genitalia over Snapchat.
