Democratic Women’s PAC Chair Kathy Reiner Martin today released the following statement in response to reports that a former employee of Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold has filed charges for sexual harassment:
I have grave concerns, as should all women and county employees, that such blatant mistreatment of female staff by John Leopold has been accepted and brushed under the carpet since allegations first arose publicly in 2009. How many different so-called “rumors and innuendos” can we ignore before Leopold has to answer to the public on this? As the Chair of the largest women’s political action committee in Maryland, I can say unequivocally that we will do everything in our power to restore accountability to the County Executive’s Office.
-Kathy Reiner Martin
