49. You mean like Carmona did?

Earlier this year, as he was running unsuccessfully for Congress in California’s 34th District, Arturo Carmona battled accusations of sexism and mistreatment of staff from when he was deputy political director in the Sanders campaign. Among the allegations was a charge by the campaign’s former national Latino outreach strategist, Masha Mendieta, that Carmona had “covered up” an accusation of sexual harassment made against a volunteer surrogate in Nevada. Carmona didn’t take the allegations seriously, Mendieta wrote in a Medium post.

“Arturo and his deputy went out drinking that night, didn’t pay it another thought, and the next morning assigned two young female interns to the same surrogate we just reported,” wrote Mendieta. “We objected vehemently and they reassigned them amidst great sighing.”

Carmona “categorically” denied the allegations to the Los Angeles Times before the special election. He said, “I have always taken issues of harassment and equity in the workplace with the seriousness and sensitivity that they deserve.”
