Statement from City Council Candidate Ben Kallos on JCOPE Investigation of City Council Opponent

 

New York, NY -- In a statement today, Ben Kallos, Candidate for City Council in Manhattan's District 5, said:

"I'm disappointed by Micah Kellner's behavior. With this JCOPE investigation, I hope that both the sexual harassment allegations and their investigation will be treated with the seriousness they deserve. If we hold our leaders accountable, we can abolish the culture of sexual harassment and fear in our state government.

This campaign should be about the issues that are important to New Yorkers -- pushing for equal rights in the workplace, education that will provide opportunity for all children, and making sure no one gets priced out of their home."
