To: The Oregon State Senate and Governor Kate Brown
REMOVE SENATOR JEFF KRUSE
We citizens of District One and citizens of the State of Oregon demand that Senator Jeff Kruse be removed from office as senator for violations of standard workplace guidelines by touching or groping other members without their consent. He has been formally sanctioned for this and has lost his committee positions, so his poor behavior has lost him the ability to serve us as we elected him to do. It is time to remove him and appoint a Senator who will not violate standard workplace guidelines.
Why is this important?
Senator Kruse's offensive behavior is an embarrassment to our district and the county he comes from. He has numerous examples going back decades of misogynistic or unacceptable behavior and comments toward and about women.
His remark to me in a town hall, shouting "DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS FOR A WOMAN TO ACCUSE A MAN AND GET A RESTRAINING ORDER???" does not show that he is ready to work with and among women in 2017, especially with regard to policy that keeps them safe from harm.
His remark to me, in his offices that "YOU CAN'T STOP BAD PEOPLE FROM DOING BAD THINGS" shows a lack of understanding or concern for stopping bad behavior. Don't police, counselors, teachers, judges, and parents all stop bad people? Of course they do. But Jeff Kruse does not allow for that, and, living in this irresponsible moral fringe where good is what you can get away with and bad is getting caught is unacceptable to us from any public official Especially a state Senator.
