Missouri State Senator Paul LeVota (D-Independence), has resigned from his Senate seat and position as a leadership development trainer at the $2 billion CommunityAmerica Credit Union. The move followed sexual harassment allegations from a college student intern that LeVota has repeatedly denied.

"I have tendered my resignation from the Missouri Senate effective Aug. 23, 2015," LeVota wrote in an email statement to CU Times on Tuesday. "Since the Missouri Senate is a part-time position, I have also resigned from my other part-time position in the private sector to take a full-time opportunity."

That part-time position was at the Lenexa, Kan.-based CommunityAmerica CU, where LeVota worked for more than three years. Before that, he also worked as an independent training consultant for various organizations across the nation, including credit union associations, AT&T and H&R Block.
