Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett is facing increased pressure from city council members to resign over a scandal involving his staff.
He has faced criticism over his handling of sexual harassment allegations made by former campaign and city staffers against his former chief of staff, Thomas Cook, as well as questions about his own behavior. Four city council members, Jesse Brown, Andy Nielsen, Crista Carlino, and Josh Bain, have called for his resignation in recent weeks.
Hogsett remains adamant that he will not resign from his role.
“The weight of these failures — ethical, personal and professional — demands accountability,” Bain, the sole Republican to call for Hogsett’s resignation so far, wrote in a statement. “Immediate change in leadership would be right for Indianapolis.”
