Kansas Dem Andrea Ramsey, accused of sexual harassment, will drop out of US House race
2017-12-15
[Miami Herald] 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.

#4  If a guy were going to get groped or harassed by a woman, I hate to be shallow, but this woman ain't bad looking. I guess, I'm like Frank G; I stand guilty of being a ":lookist." Please don't send me to a NOW meeting to shock me into some kind of weird reality.

That's where companies stick the really useless employees.
