Allegations of sexual assault against New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer have put a lot of his political supporters in an awkward position as the June 23 Democratic mayoral primary nears. This includes nearly two dozen members of the state Senate and Assembly who have endorsed Stringer and also called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign in part over allegations of groping and sexual harassment.
Legislative supporters of the mayoral hopeful have reacted in a variety of ways to allegations made by Jean Kim, who worked on Stringer’s 2001 public advocate campaign, that he kissed her without consent, reached under her clothes and aggressively propositioned her for sex. Some state lawmakers are pulling back their endorsements. Others are still considering their options.
