For other people named Greg Taylor, see Greg Taylor (disambiguation).

Greg Taylor (born 1969/1970)[1] is a Democratic member of the Indiana Senate. He has represented the 33rd District since 2008. In November 2020, he was elected as the Minority Floor Leader of the Senate.[2] He is a senior counsel at MWH Law Group, specializing in municipal finance law.[3]

Sexual harassment allegations

In November of 2024, the Indianapolis Star published a story outlining three separate sexual harassment allegations spanning over eight years.[4] A legislative assistant claimed Taylor placed his hands on her and pinned her against a door, another legislative staffer alleged verbal sexual harassment, and an intern claimed Taylor continuously pursued her looking for a personal relationship.[4] Taylor did not deny the allegations rather apologizing and saying he "may have blurred the lines". On the same day of the allegations, Indiana Senate democrats re-elected him as Minority Leader.[5] One month later three more women accused Taylor of sexual misconduct, including one of accusation of forcibly kissing her.[6] One day after the second set of allegations were published Taylor was ousted as Senate Minority Leader and replaced with Shelli Yoder.[7]
