Dear Voters,

On March 4, 2026, members of Congress voted on a motion related to releasing records from the House Ethics Committee concerning violations involving sexual harassment and misconduct.

The resolution itself was simple: it directed the committee to preserve and **publicly release records of investigations involving sexual harassment and abuse** so the American people could see how these cases were handled.

However, instead of allowing that transparency to move forward, Congress voted on a **motion to refer** the resolution to committee. In this vote, a **“Nay” vote would have allowed the resolution to proceed toward releasing the records**. A **“Yea” vote sent the measure to committee**, where actions like this are often stalled or quietly killed.

That is exactly what happened. The records were **not released to the public**. Instead, the resolution was placed in committee, effectively preventing the information from being made public.

Many members of Congress have previously spoken about accountability and transparency regarding sexual harassment and abuse. Yet when given the opportunity to release the records and allow the public to see the truth, the vote instead sent the issue into a committee process where it could disappear without action.

Voters deserve to know when elected officials choose procedures that prevent transparency. Allegations involving sexual harassment and abuse are serious matters, and they should never be hidden behind procedural votes or committee delays.

As voters in Montana, it is important to pay attention to how representatives vote on issues like this. When officials choose to block the release of records concerning sexual misconduct investigations, it raises serious questions about accountability.

Citizens should consider carefully whether to support or oppose candidates who vote in ways that **hide information about sexual abuse or misconduct rather than allowing transparency**. Public officials must be held to the highest standards, and protecting victims and ensuring accountability should never be secondary to political convenience.

Transparency and honesty in government are essential to maintaining public trust. When records concerning abuse and misconduct are kept from the public, that trust is damaged.

Respectfully,
