Nicolette Davis said she was 25, on her first networking trip as a junior lobbyist for an insurance company, when she felt the 45-year-old congressman’s hand on her back. She and other lobbyists had gathered at an Irish pub in Minneapolis after a day of ice fishing, Davis told The Washington Post, and Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y) was seated to her left.
“A drunk congressman is rubbing my back,” she texted a friend and co-worker at Aflac that evening in 2017, adding later, “HELP HELP.”
Reed, his hand outside her blouse, briefly fumbled with her bra before unhooking it by pinching the clasp, Davis told The Post. He moved his hand to her thigh, inching upward, she said.
Frozen in fear, she said, she asked the person sitting to her right for help. He obliged by pulling the congressman away from the table and out of the restaurant, Davis said.
Reed declined to be interviewed for this story. In response to a detailed list of questions, he said in a statement provided by his office: “This account of my actions is not accurate.”
Davis’s account comes at a time when Reed is considering a run against New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D), who is facing calls to resign after multiple women, mostly former state employees, accused him of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior. Reed, who has described combating sexual violence and harassment as one of his priorities in Congress, recently argued that Cuomo should be impeached.
*** Reed and two other House Republicans from New York, Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin, have said they are contemplating bids to challenge Cuomo. Reed is a co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 56 House members, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, that looks for compromise on key issues.

How is she polling? Not much point in nominating someone who can’t win.
right on que... that aside, he is a POS.
If they have a special election for governor, Don Trump Jr. should run. That would be fun!
It’s the WaPo. A less believable source of anything save for lies does not exist.
Believeth me not? Check out their record.
“ frozen in fear”
Please, princess.....
Get up and move
Of course they are out to get him. But I tend to believe a military woman over a scumbag politician. He’s a typical hypocrite in DC
Wonder who, if any of them, would be willing to sign a sworn statement attesting to what did and didn’t happen.
I will say this, the timing of this accusation is certainly interesting. Especially since Reed’s district is likely to get gerrymandered. Again.
The story was just getting interesting and I was hoping we would have more details
Poor girl.
Someone forgot to train her on the job elements of a young blonde “junior lobbyist”.
I do not understand how a grown ass woman cannot, will not stand up and say” Get your hand off me!” in a very loud voice.
Very young girls do not know what to do- i know because i was one.
But after awhile, it’s the only way. Stop it in their tracks.
It never ceases to amaze me how public officials do these things. Do they not follow the news? Do they not hear the horror stories of colleagues? Do they really think as a public figure with a target on their back they can get a little on the side and no one will find out?
Everyone seems to think they're smarter than the last guy and they can get away with it. I have no sympathy for anyone who is this haughty, ignorant, foolish, or stupid.
Better now than three to five weeks from now.
Okay, so the “victim” was 25 and not 5 when this occurred, right? Yet she was “frozen” with fear in a crowded room. I find it so obnoxious that these females call themselves tough and equals to men yet she had to ask a man to get her out of a jam that she should have been able to handle herself.
The bra unhooking could not have occurred in just a nanosecond. She surely could have stopped the creep before that occurred.
Exactly.
Yep. Next another one will come forward.
And these days many foul-mouthed females would say, “Get your f’ing hands off me.”
Do a search on the perv that Reed replaced, Eric Massa.
If this story is true, Reed wouldn’t be the first creep the district sent to DC.
The more I think about this...If there’s any truth to this, then the local enemedia had to have heard something about this. And, if not this in specific, then something similar.
If so, why did they keep a lid on this til now?
Whose interests did that serve?
And if isn’t true, Reed needs to say so. Flat out.
