To: Sen. Daylin Leach, Pennsylvania State Senator
Senator Leach: Time's Up
Despite multiple, credible accusations of sexual harassment, Daylin Leach continues in his bid for Congress. This is unacceptable. We, the undersigned, demand that Daylin Leach resign his seat in Pennsylvania General Assembly, immediately cease his campaign for Congress, and donate whatever funds remain in your Federal PAC to a charitable organization supporting women and girls.
Dear Senator Leach:
There has been much speculation as to whether you will be announcing your candidacy for Congress in the newly drawn 4th Congressional District. We, your direct constituents and those whom you purport to represent as a Progressive “leader” in Pennsylvania demand that you immediately shut down your Federal campaign and publicly declare that you will not be seeking federal office in 2018.
In addition to the sexual harassment allegations that were reported against you in December of 2017, you have exhibited and continue to exhibit some disturbing behaviors which are absolutely unacceptable and which we believe render you unfit for office. You have not demonstrated sufficient remorse or even a simple understanding of the consequences of your actions. While we recognize that you have been a leader on important policy issues, however your conduct cannot be excused. This is not your time. You do not belong in the race.
Leaders in the General Assembly, Republican and Democrat, must commit to real reform that protects victims. To that end, we ask that you donate whatever funds remain in your Federal PAC be donated to a charitable or other public service organization which supports women.

Why is this important?
With multiple credible accounts of misconduct, Senator Leach is unfit for office. We must have a clear line of zero-tolerance for sexual misconduct for office holders, regardless of party or politics.
