ANNAPUIJs. MARYLAND 
March 2, 2018

Over the course of my career, I, like most women I know, have experienced some form of
sexual harassment. Courageous women all over the country have come forward since last fall to
share their stories. As a result, many offenders in various industries have lost power and
prestige. Employers have created or enhanced sexual harassment trainings and strengthened
their enforcement mechanisms.

After all of these revelations and the ongoing conversations in Annapolis, was shocked to be
touched inappropriately yet again last night. Unfortunately, there are too many women who,
for fear of reprisal or career limitation, have needed to remain silent. While the anonymous
stories that have been covered by the press are valid and important, it is also critical to call
out? by name? men who still fail to respect women?s boundaries. i will remain silent no more.

Last night, former legislator and current Annapolis lobbyist, Gil Genn, put his hand on my back
and then slid it This was not the first time he had touched me inappropriately. I speak
up today not only for myself, but also for the legislative staff and interns who are clearly more
vulnerable than a Senator whose votes could affect a lobbyist?s clients. It?s time to call him out.
