All 22 Female Senators Demand Senate Pass Congressional Sexual Harassment Bill

HeadlineMar 28, 2018

All 22 female senators—both Democrat and Republican—have written a letter to the Senate leadership demanding the passage of legislation addressing sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. Early last month, the House of Representatives passed a bill overhauling the secretive process for reporting sexual harassment in Congress. The legislation would bar lawmakers accused of sexual harassment from using taxpayer money to settle lawsuits, and would provide legal representation to those alleging they have been sexually harassed. Since then, there’s been no action in pushing the legislation through the Senate.
