Female Democrat candidate drops out of race after she was - accused of sexual assault Posted: Dec 16th, 2017 - 4:57 am
stemming from a 2005 lawsuit resurfaced during a recent interview.
Mother-of-two Andrea Ramsey was asked by the Kansas City Star about a lawsuit regarding accusations of sexually harassing and retaliating against a male subordinate, Gary Funkhouser, who said he rejected her sexual advances in 2005.
Court Documents show that Funkhouser and LabOne, a company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources, agreed to dismiss the case after mediation in 2006, according to the Star.
Ramsey, from Leawood, Kansas, was one of a number of Democrats planning to challenge Republican Representative Kevin Yoder in the 2018 race in Kansas' Third District.
The 56-year-old had received an endorsement from the left-wing women's group Emily's List, which has raised more than $500,000 for female candidates supporting abortion rights across the country.
But now Ramsey's campaign says she will announce that she is dropping out on Friday.
