The Des Moines Register broke the news of Sen. Seymour's arrest 6 years ago and just now being made public.
Sen. James Seymour, a Republican from Woodbine, was charged at 2 p.m. on March 13, 2002, after he called a female prostitute decoy who was working with Des Moines police.
He arranged to meet her on the east side for oral sex and intercourse and handed over $90, according to a police report.
Earlier the same day, Seymour had filed papers to run for the Senate. He was elected eight months later.
Sen. Seymour is running unopposed and it is too late to add anyone to the ballot. The only way to defeat him is start a write-in campaign.
Sen. James Seymour voted yes on the death penalty bill in Iowa and signed a petition stating, "The Death Penalty Is a Good Thing That Needs to Be Used More Often."
This man needs to go! It's time to start a new campaign.
