Just days before Tuesday’s election in the tight race for San Diego’s 52nd Congressional District seat, a second former staffer for Republican candidate Carl DeMaio is accusing him of sexual harassment.

Navy veteran Justin Harper, 25, said he began interning with DeMaio’s campaign in February and was hired as a regional political director a month later. His job was to make phone calls and knock on doors to ask voters for their support.

Harper said he quit on July 12, two days after an incident involving DeMaio in a restroom at campaign headquarters.

Harper talked with KPBS a week ago by phone, but he requested that his name not be used in a story about the alleged harassment. KPBS declined to publish or air anonymous allegations. On Saturday, Harper told KPBS he decided to put his name to the story after getting phone calls on Friday of "encouragement and support from the veterans community in San Diego." He did not want to say who had called him, and said he did not know who had given his name to the veterans who called.

1. But will it be enough

to sinko DeMaio?

2. Went with my daughter to pick up Girl Scouts fundraising sales ...

the troop leader had a Carl DeMaio placard in their front yard.
I blew my top.

My daughter told me not to mention any politics, so I didn't.

Here's what's really bothering me; DeMaio was caught by another
city supervisor, masturbating in the bathroom, while DeMaio was a city supervisor,
and when he ran for Mayor, this was brought up, and he still almost beat Filner.

Now it's a tight race with Scott Peters for the 52nd congressional seat, and
people will not care that DeMaio is a masturbating pervert as long as
there is an (R) next to his name.

3. You make it sound like masturbation is a perversion

In public yes, but other than that it simply is no one's business.

4. not a good idea to do it on the job
