Governor Kim Reynolds fired the director of a state agency less than 24 hours after her office was notified of “credible” allegations of sexual harassment.
According to a news release, the governor’s office “was made aware” of the allegations against Iowa Finance Authority director Dave Jamison Friday night. By Saturday afternoon, Reynolds had fired him.
Jamison, the fired Iowa Finance Authority director, had served as Story County Treasurer for 15 years before he was the Iowa Republican Party’s nominee for state treasurer in 2010.
The Governor appointed Carolann Jensen, a longtime analyst for the Iowa Senate Republican Caucus staff before joining the Iowa Finance Authority, as interim director. The agency provides financial assistance to first-time homebuyers and helps Iowa communities borrow money for infrastructure by issuing bonds.
