All 22 Female Senators Push Congress On Sexual Harassment ReformThe bipartisan group says its unacceptable that the Senate has failed to fix sexual harassment policies involving lawmakers and staffers.
All 22 female U.S. senators on Wednesday lambasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for inaction on reforming arcane policies on sexual harassment involving lawmakers and staffers.
In a letter spearheaded by Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Patty Murray (Wash.), and signed by every female senator, the bipartisan group presses Senate leaders to act on legislation that includes policy changes approved by the House last month.
The Senates inaction stands in stark contrast to the bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives, the senators wrote, expressing deep disappointment that the Senate has failed to enact meaningful reforms.
