Mace Forces Vote On Releasing Congress Sexual Misconduct Reports
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace plans to force a House vote next week on her resolution to release sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members of Congress and their staffers, a move prompted by revelations about Rep. Tony Gonzales. This resolution aims to increase transparency and accountability within the House, as Mace expresses doubt about sufficient bipartisan support for such measures, citing a pattern of protecting colleagues. The push for transparency comes as an investigation into Gonzales’s conduct is expected to conclude soon, though the House Ethics Committee’s involvement remains unclear, highlighting ongoing frustrations among some Republican women regarding the handling of misconduct allegations.
