STATEMENT FROM ACTING-INTERIM CHAIR, ASSEMBLYMEMBER SUSAN TALAMANTES EGGMAN AND VICE CHAIR, SENATOR CONNIE M. LEYVA Regarding Senator Joel Anderson

For Immediate Release

SACRAMENTO – The allegations against Senator Joel Anderson are deeply disturbing and warrant a full investigation.  All legislative staff, lobbyists, visitors to the Capitol, and legislators deserve to be treated with respect.  Sexual harassment and threats of violence are never acceptable and those who engage in that type of behavior must be held accountable.
