A prominent Democratic congressional candidate quit the 2018 race
after journalists unearthed a former subordinate’s claim of sexual harassment.

The candidate is a woman, Andrea Ramsey, and the alleged victim is a
man who said she fired him for refusing her sexual advances more
than a decade ago.

Ramsey appears to be the first prominent woman accused of wrongdoing
in the “Me Too” era, which ignited after prominent Hollywood
actresses accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and
abuse.

The Kansas City Star reported that the employee, Gary Funkhouser,
alleged Ramsey had made “unwelcome and inappropriate sexual comments
and innuendos” toward him. In a complaint to the federal Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, he said “after I told her I was
not interested in having a sexual relationship with her, she stopped
talking to me,” and later fired him.
