WASHINGTON Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, the company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. Court documents show that the man, Gary Funkhouser, and LabOne agreed to dismiss the case permanently after mediation in 2006.
Ramsey, a 56-year-old retired business executive from Leawood, was one of the Democratic candidates vying to challenge Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in 2018 in Kansas’ 3rd District.
She was running with the endorsement of Emily’s List, a liberal women’s group that has raised more than a half-million dollars to help female candidates who support abortion rights.

So far in all this, the Dems are +1....they got Moore.
So what if Franken is gone, a Rat still has that seat.

Well, Franken’s seat will now be on the ballot in November in a state Trump narrowly lost. It’s not a slam dunk, but it’s another possibly vulnerable seat that the left will be forced to defend.
Pawlenty is rumored to be interested, and he’s won two statewide elections before. Even if he runs and loses, it’s yet another seat that the commies will be forced to spend money defending.

"Oh. Wow, didn’t see that coming..."LS gave us a heads up that this might occur, but this is at the State Level. Yes women are not immune to this behavior, ask any airline pilot about aids, Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome....

I saw this story on another site and for a second I thought they meant Hillary. It was like the ultimate Christmas come early, damn! Maybe next time. "Hillary constantly sexually assaulted female campaign volunteer". Please God make it so.
