Episode Details

Former Missouri lawmaker Price secures victory in court, reclaiming thousands in seized salary after sexual misconduct claims led to censure and fines in 2020. The judge ruled that the House couldnt retroactively change rules to enforce penalties. This case comes amidst a surge of misconduct accusations against state lawmakers since 2017, with over 158 lawmakers accused, more than a third resigning or being removed, and a dozen top executives stepping down. Price lost his primary in 2022 and now works for state Senator Karla May. The House is reviewing the ruling, and a new report lists 30 Congress members with harassment claims since 2006. Advocates emphasize the need for better policies to ensure true accountability, as underreporting remains a significant issue due to retaliation fears.
