## Summary

Democratic campaign bodies are investigating Brian Poindexter, a newly elected Ohio congressman, after a campaign worker accused him of sexual harassment. The inquiry comes shortly after he defeated Republican Max Miller, and could affect confidence in the incoming representative and how his party handles the allegation.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has hired an independent firm to interview people and gather facts, describing its investigation as swift, thorough and transparent. Poindexter’s campaign is also working with an outside firm; a spokesperson said the allegation concerned a compliment that Poindexter later learnt had made a volunteer uncomfortable. He won Ohio’s 7th district by about 10 percentage points; the article also notes earlier arrests reported during his campaign.
