New Mexico Governor Settles with Ex-Spokesman

Albuquerque Journal: “Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D) gubernatorial campaign has paid at least $62,500 as part of a settlement with a former staff member who had accused her of sexual mistreatment during a staff meeting.”

“James Hallinan accused Lujan Grisham in late 2019 — about a year after he left the campaign — of pouring a bottle of water on his crotch and then grabbing his crotch through his clothes as she laughed, an incident he said took place in front of other campaign staffers.”

Many had assumed Lujan Grisham would join the Biden administration, but perhaps this is why she pulled her name from consideration in December.
