Adam Laxalt: Enforce current laws; no new laws to fight sexual harassment

Q: Does the government need to take additional steps to fight workplace sexual misconduct?

A: We have measures in place that address this and I strongly support those measures. Workplace sexual harassment is unacceptable, and I believe the most important thing government can do in this area is fulfill its obligation to enforce our measures that are designed to protect people in the workplace.

Q: Has the government done enough to address existing sexual misconduct claims against elected officials?

A: Like all Americans, I've been sickened to learn about the instances of sexual misconduct by elected officials. I believe it is the responsibility of each government jurisdiction to take the steps necessary to deter such behavior, protect its citizens, and pursue justice in cases of misconduct that arise. As Governor, I will carefully review what safeguards our state currently has in place and will work to implement any and all reforms that are needed to put an end to this problem.
