#364 STATE REP KEVIN GARN
FORMER MEMBER OF THE UTAH HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER
Twenty-five years ago, Garn shared a hot tub while naked with a then-15 year old girl. Garn denied there was any sexual contact but he did pay the girl $150,000 to shut up about the incident.
Garn said he would not be resigning from the Utah house a day after the incident occured and no one in the GOP demanded he quit. But the next day, Garn quit.
The Garn Scandal was the second bodyblow to hit the state GOP since the beginning of 2010. In January, Senate Majority Leader Sheldon Killpack because another of the many drunk drivers on the GOP side as he was arrested for driving under the influence. He resigned a few days later.
