Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who is on the short list to be Kamala Harris’s running mate, is facing renewed criticism for his handling of a sexual harassment complaint against a longtime top aide.
An employee had accused Mr. Vereb of making repeated and graphic sexual overtures and then criticizing her job performance after she refused him.
She resigned rather than continue to work for him, her only other option, she said in her written complaint.
Mr. Vereb, 57, kept his post for six months after his accuser first alleged misconduct.
He resigned only after local reporters obtained a copy of the employee’s complaint, weeks after the settlement had been secretly reached.
