Tell Congress: Taxpayer Money Should Not Fund Harassment Settlements

Recent signers:
Charles Hinton and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Newly released documents show that over $300,000 in taxpayer money was used to settle sexual harassment claims involving members of Congress and their offices.

These payments were made without public transparency, shielding misconduct while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill.

In multiple cases:

Lawmakers faced serious allegations
Settlements were paid using public funds
No admission of wrongdoing was required
This is a failure of accountability.

Taxpayers should not be paying for the misconduct of elected officials.

We call on:

U.S. Congress
to:

Ban the use of taxpayer funds for harassment settlements
Require full public disclosure of past settlements
Hold individuals personally financially responsible
Sign to demand: no more taxpayer-funded misconduct—end this now.
