WASHINGTON Following an alleged comment made to her by a supervisor about lynching, a Black staffer of U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) is suing his office, according to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday. Patrice Campbell claims her supervisor, Kathryn Davidman, created an intolerable hostile work environment and has since engaged in retaliatory conduct against her because of her race.
The lawsuit states Davidman s conduct violates the Congressional Accountability Act. Davidman currently serves as Schneider s Casework and Veterans Affairs Director. Campbell is a constituent services representative.
