The Nevada Independent reported on Thursday that Rep. Ruben Kihuen’s congressional colleagues reacted with surprise and skepticism that he is considering reversing his decision not to seek re-election after being accused of sexual harassment, with one lawmaker asking what has changed.
Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who is currently the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said that the burden would be on Kihuen to show that something has changed since she called for his resignation after the allegations first surfaced.
“He would have to really work hard at demonstrating to colleagues, including members of our Hispanic caucus, that these issues have shifted because information is different, that constituents want him to see what happens in [the House Ethics Committee] but be available to run because he’s done other work that’s productive,” Lujan Grisham told The Nevada Independent Wednesday.
