Republican Sen. Peter Lucido of Shelby Township was disciplined after multiple women came forward alleging sexual harassment — including Democrat Sen. Mallory McMorrow from Royal Oak, who said Lucido made inappropriate comments to her during an orientation that included sexual harassment sensitivity training.
According to an investigation, Lucido engaged in an “unfortunate pattern” of “inappropriate workplace behavior” toward women, and has been ordered to undergo more sensitivity training. He has also been removed from the Advice and Consent Committee.
“We take accusations of inappropriate behavior in the workplace very seriously,” State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, a Clarklake Republican, said in a statement. “It is my sincere hope that this experience will help serve as motivation for us all to do better and be better in our personal interactions and our public discourse.”
