North Dakota lawmaker resigns seat after harassment complaint
A North Dakota lawmaker is out of office following a harassment complaint that never became public. Rep. Jeremy Olson resigned Monday, just days after legislative leaders were informed of the complaint. The formal complaint was withdrawn after his resignation, but lawmakers say internal protocols were followed. Olson denies wrongdoing but says he stepped down for the sake of his family. This marks the second high-profile resignation linked to harassment in recent years, signaling that the Legislature’s updated conduct policies are being tested—and used.
