Andi Perez, who advocates on behalf of Service Employees International Union 32BJ in Harrisburg, plans to make the allegation Friday evening in Philadelphia during a listening session organized by new state Houser Speaker Mark Rozzi (D., Berks).
Rozzi has scheduled a series of public meetings to solicit feedback about the state Houses operating procedures amid partisan deadlock over which political party controls the chamber. The sessions offer a rare opportunity for Pennsylvanians to directly weigh in on the rules, which in most years are quickly adopted at the beginning of each new legislative session.
Perez said she was harassed by a male lawmaker while discussing a bill outside of the Capitol building, according to prepared testimony reviewed by Spotlight PA. She did not provide the lawmakers name, his party affiliation, or additional details.
The lawmaker decided to caress my leg while I was wearing a skirt all the while telling me he was impressed by my passion and knowledge of the issues we were discussing, Perez plans to say. I moved away from him hoping he would stop he did not.

It's a breaking story and Spotlight will provide more details in the next few days.

Yes, I know, there's no 'mention' of who it was or which party put him there, but you've got to believe that if it were a Dem, good ole' Doug Masterbato would be out there telling us all how HE should be leading the Keystone State down the path of righteousness (funny how 'right' is in that word!) and away from the evil world of those that opposed him and the other tRumpers.
Of course, the 'lobbying-folk' are surely pure and clean in all of this......
