Our response to the allegations of Representative Zabel:

We are shocked and disappointed to learn of the allegations against State Representative Mike Zabel. Harassment and abuse of position cannot be tolerated in any circumstance. We support and respect the courage of those who have come forward and applaud the changing of the House ethics rules to make reporting harassment easier. Since State Representative Mike Zabel has chosen to resign, we look forward to electing a new qualified and dedicated candidate on May 16th to represent the 163rd District.
