"Sexual harassment will not be tolerated in my administration," said Reynolds, who became Iowa's first female governor last year. "At the request of the victims and to protect their privacy and their identity, there is only so much that I can say about the details of the allegations," Reynolds said. Jamison's termination, which comes amid a renewed focus on workplace sexual misconduct, is the latest sexual harassment problem for Republicans who control Iowa's state government. Iowa Democrats highlighted Dix's handling of sexual misconduct allegations in criticizing Reynolds' response to Jamison's firing. Reynolds said she mandated in February that all executive branch employees take existing sexual harassment training again by May 1.
