Kansas Dem Andrea Ramsey, accused of sexual harassment, will drop out of US House race

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.

Ramsey will drop out on Friday, her campaign said.

I just love it when the politicians and their handlers start eating their own.

Turnabout it fair play - for far, far too long, politicians, lobbyists, and powerbrokers have been running roughshod over their minions. Although hearing about this crap 12 years after the alleged situation gets tiresome, I think they can all eat their own.

Try not to belch, eh?

I was wondering when predatory women would start getting exposed - heterosexual and lesbian. They may or may not be as numerous as predatory males, but they are out there.
