'Willful coverup': Democrat in key House race hit with ethics complaint that could derail campaign
Story by Andrew Miller • 15h


FIRST ON FOX: A Democratic House candidate in one of the most closely watched races in the country was the subject of an ethics complaint alleging that she had failed to act on allegations of sexual harassment and assault against a man working with her campaign.

Fox News Digital obtained a complaint filed with the state's Legislative Equality Office against Janelle Bynum, running for Congress in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, alleging that Bynum had failed to be a mandatory reporter of allegations against a man working for the PAC that staffed her State Representative campaign in 2022.
 
The complaint also alleged that when confronted about the alleged actions, Bynum was dismissive and even threatened the individual who had reached out to her.

"During the 2024 primary election, I was contacted by an informant with information about Rep. Bynum and her willful coverup of a sexual assault of a minor volunteer who worked for her during the 2022 cycle," the complaint reads.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

🚨 — An Oregon congressional candidate has been accused of covering up child sex abuse allegations involving a former staffer.

Democrat @bynum4thewin refused to report the allegations to police, a violation of state law. She is running to unseat Republican Congresswoman @LChavezDeRemer in Oregon's 5th Congressional District.

This one race could decide if Republicans maintain control of the US House in November.

Chavez-DeRemer was the first Republican to win the seat since the 1990s. She won in 2022 by just over one percentage point.

Democrats have grown determined to take back the seat, pouring vast amounts of money into Bynum's campaign. But these new allegations might have blocked Bynum's chances.
