Barone was originally elected to the Senate in the 1996 elections. He was one of two Democratic Senators to get campaign contributions from the Koch brothers. He was accused of sexual harassment of young interns and multiple abuses of power, removed from positions of leadership by his minority caucus, and defeated in the 2008 primary.[2]
