Salt Lake County Democrats demand Sen. Gene Davis' resignation

• Democrats also extended Davis' current suspension from party events and support for the next two years.
• Party leaders said Davis did not appeal their suspension decision.

Yes, but: In a letter sent to reporters late Tuesday, an attorney representing Davis, Benjamin B. Grindstaff, refuted Democrats' claims, saying his client's appeal was "simply ignored" by the party's executive committee.

• "Senator Davis has done nothing that would warrant his resignation from the Utah State Senate," the letter stated.
• Grindstaff added his client was not "afforded the opportunity to be heard" throughout the investigation.

Of note: Democratic leaders declined to release the findings of their internal investigation, citing the process was confidential under its bylaws.

Catch up quick: The Utah Senate announced in August it was launching an investigation into his conduct days after Sonia Weglinski, a former legislative intern and campaign staffer for Davis, alleged he invaded her personal boundaries.

• The Utah Democratic Party asked for Davis' resignation following Weglinski's claims.

What's next: Grindstaff said Davis, who has served in the Utah Legislature since 1987, would continue his full term in office.

• Davis' term is set to expire in January, after losing his Democratic primary race against Nate Blouin in June.
