Following a speech to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club today, Gov. John Bel Edwards called on Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler to resign in the wake of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a state employee.

The Democratic governor said Schedler’s explanation that he had a consensual relationship with the woman was as troubling as the initial allegations.
