Kansas Dem Andrea Ramsey, accused of sexual harassment, will drop out of US House race
By Lindsay Wise and Bryan Lowry
McClatchy Washington Bureau and The Kansas City Star

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.

Apparently this happened over 10 years ago.

So now whenever a case is "settled," nothing is really settled at all?

Kansas, I'll bet they have some very one-sided races there are, considering how red the state is.  I would think she didn't have much of a chance to begin with but who knows?

If  Lawrence or Manhattan is in her district, she would have won.

We know Tommy. This is a district that Hitlary won in '16. The Rats are focusing on these red state state districts with GOP reps that went for Hitlary.

The Salem witch trials lasted until the pastor's wife became one of the accused.

I think this show has about reached its full run.

Funkhouser couldn't live up to the family name. If the claim is true.

Correct.  This will not bode well for future litigants who may be willing to settle.  "Why should I settle with you when 10 years from now your ghost can pop out of the ground and kill me?  Screw you, prove your case in court."

Because something is settled doesn't mean that it disappears, nor does it mean that it won't be under scrutiny when one chooses a PUBLIC job.

In the EEOC complaint, which alleged sex discrimination and retaliation by LabOne, Funkhouser accused Ramsey of subjecting him to “unwelcome and inappropriate sexual comments and innuendos” beginning in September 2004, when he was a LabOne human resources manager.[/b]

Dumb-ass was asking for it.  Like trying to sell a Lid to a cop in uniform.

No.  Manhattan is now in the "big first" that includes all of Western Kansas, and even when we were in the second district, we always elected Republicans.  Lawrence only gets to elect 'Rats from time to time because its in the same district as parts of the Kansas City suburbs that have the usual complement of urbanite leftists.

Based on the video at the source, I'm gonna guess her motor runs on an ethanol blend of vodka, gin, and chardonnay.

Ball.  I never much liked Tupperware, the seeds get stuck in the lip.
