Married ‘family values’ Iowa Senate majority leader resigns after being caught kissing lobbyist on camera

A self-described “family values” conservative has resigned from the Iowa state legislature after he was caught on video kissing a lobbyist who is not his wife.

Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix (R-Shell Rock) is seated next to the woman on a barstool in the 52-second video clip, which was posted on the Iowa Starting Line political website, when the lobbyist leans over to kiss the married lawmaker, reported the Des Moines Register.

“Effective at 2pm today, Bill Dix resigned his position as Majority Leader and State Senator. I believe he made the right decision for himself and for his district, but most importantly, I believe he made the decision in the best interest of his family,” said Iowa Senate President Jack Whitver in a statement.

The incident shown on the video allegedly happened March 1 at the Waveland Tap bar in Des Moines, according to Starting Line.

3. My first thought was "Lobbyists are prostitutes for their 'causes'"

Sorry, that was my first thought. I think the pain meds are taking some time to wear off and I feel a bit out of it today.

State Sen. Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock, the only Republican on the panel, argued that he voted for the resolution because he was following the will of his constituents and his Catholic faith.

"When people say they're voting against the constitutional amendment, they're voting against your opportunity to decide," Dix said.

On more than one occasion, Dix and other amendment backers cited their religious belief as reasons for support. Dix said he also voted for the original Defense of Marriage Act, overturned two years ago by the Iowa Supreme Court, when he was in the House a decade ago.
