A rising star in the Democratic Party who has garnered national attention for tackling poverty in New Mexico is fighting for his political future amid decade-old allegations he sexually harassed women.

Democratic state Sen. Michael Padilla is facing calls to drop his bid for New Mexico lieutenant governor after The Associated Press began asking elected officials about the cases.

According to litardpedia, this creep has a history of being a disgusting pig, no offense to any disgusting pig that may be reading this:

In 2010, a group of 911 center employees sued the city of Albuquerque in federal court alleging that Padilla, who at the time was tasked with improving the center’s operations, sexually harassed employees and created a hostile work environment.[4]

Padilla allegedly told women in his office that “it may be 2007 out there, but in my house it is the 1950s and women stay home, make tortillas and have babies.” After they complained, the women said they were retaliated against and demoted. The plaintiffs also argued the city was negligent by not uncovering other sexual harassment allegations against Padilla at former workplaces.[5]

According to The Albuquerque Journal, two women settled for $149,000. A third won a federal civil rights lawsuit that cost the city $102,200 for legal fees and counseling for the woman. Padilla maintained that he was innocent and said he had been “railroaded” by the employees.[6]

Sexual harassment claims against Padilla became an issue in the 2012 Democratic Primary when one of his opponents sent a mailer to voters that reminded voters of Padilla’s “sordid history.
