Sexual Harassment Allegations Roil N.Y.C. Mayor’s Race: 5 Takeaways
The New York Times
Scott Stringer, the city comptroller, has faced criticism for his aggressive defense against accusations from a former campaign worker.
For much of the New York City mayor’s race, Andrew Yang has been a dominating presence, leading in limited early polling and siphoning attention from his rivals. That largely remained true last week, but an unexpected story line — the sexual assault allegations lodged against Scott M. Stringer, the city comptroller — gave the race another focal point. A former campaign worker, Jean Kim, said Mr. Stringer sexually abused her during his 2001 campaign for public advocate. At least four mayoral candidates have called on Mr. Stringer to drop out of the race.More Related News
