Democratic senators running for president are lining up behind a sweeping bill to combat an issue that's haunted several of their own offices and campaigns: workplace harassment

Gillibrand said at the time that the episode was an example of how pervasive sexual harassment is and why stronger policies are needed to ensure transparency and justice for victims.

As in the case with Gillibrand’s aide, sexual harassers frequently target those with less status and power in a workplace. The Senate bill aims to address this by extending protections beyond traditional full-time employees to independent contractors and interns who generally have little legal recourse. It would also create a fund with tens of millions of dollars to help low-income workers pay for legal assistance to press their harassment and discrimination claims.reported in December

that a senior advisor in her Sacramento office was accused of harassing and demeaning his female coworkers when he worked at the California Justice Department during Harris’ tenure as the state’s Attorney General. The behavior included placing the office printer under his desk and ordering the woman to crawl on the floor to replace the paper and ink on a daily basis. The woman sued over the office’s handling of her complaint and under Harris’ successor Xavier Becerra won a $400,000 settlement.
