Eighth-District State Representative Matthew Wollman has resigned his seat, days after admitting to having sexual contact with two Legislative interns. House Speaker Mark Mickelson said last week a bi-partisan committee would look into Wollman’s actions. Wollman admitted to sexual contact with the interns in both the 20-15 and 20-16 sessions. He gave his resignation Monday, January 23. Governor Dennis Daugaard released a statement Monday morning, which says the Representative did the right thing by leaving the House. Daugaard says he plans to name a replacement quickly. Wollman’s district includes the Madison area and parts north of Sioux Falls.
