Jamie Raskin: “It prohibits sexual relationships between Members of Congress and…”

On the recordFebruary 6, 2018

It prohibits sexual relationships between Members of Congress and their staffs. It holds offending Members personally responsible for their conduct by requiring that they pay any settlements that are actually made. I thank Chairman Harper and Ranking Member Brady for their leadership. I especially thank Congresswoman Jackie Speier for her untiring and exemplary advocacy over the years on this issue. I am glad that we are being part of this great cultural paradigm shift in America right now.
