Kansas Dem drops out of race after sexual harassment allegation

WASHINGTON - Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, the company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. Court documents show that the man, Gary Funkhouser, and LabOne agreed to dismiss the case permanently after mediation in 2006.

Ramsey, a 56-year-old retired business executive from Leawood, was one of the Democratic candidates vying to challenge Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in 2018 in Kansas’ 3rd District.

The dude that rejected Andrea Ramsey had no other choice. He had certain standards, therefore fought her off because she was a Democrat. The good man had to look after his own reputation. Had he been caught romancing such a individual, his integrity would have been thrown out the window with his career and future of ever being hired for anything.
