Michigan senator lodges new sexual harassment complaint against Lucido
State Sen. Peter Lucido faces a new workplace sexual harassment complaint one week after a Capitol reporter alleged he made a sexist remark to her — this time from one of his female colleagues in the Michigan Senate.
Sen. Mallory McMorrow said Tuesday that she filed a sexual harassment complaint against Lucido with the Senate Business Office over an incident that occurred 14 months ago during an orientation day for new senators two days after the November 2018 election.
In an exclusive interview Monday with Crain's, McMorrow said Lucido made a remark suggesting she defeated an incumbent Republican senator based on her looks while he held his hand on her lower back for an extended period of time that made her uncomfortable and made her feel unable to distance herself from Lucido.
McMorrow, 33, said she and Lucido were attending the orientation — a daylong session that included sexual harassment training — in a committee hearing room in the Senate's office building in Lansing.
During a break, McMorrow said she approached Lucido to introduce herself to the Shelby Township Republican, who was a sitting House member at the time.
