Georgia Lt. Gov. Candidates Question Each Other’s Possible Harassment Settlements

Candidates for Georgia lieutenant governor who previously held public office are facing renewed scrutiny over whether they used taxpayer‑funded settlements to resolve sexual harassment claims while serving in government.

All candidates deny that they have been involved in any sexual harassment scandals, especially while in office, and are even willing to provide documentation if it is truly desired.

But that isn’t stopping the push for more information.

“Georgians deserve leaders with integrity, not politicians hiding behind legal agreements and backroom deals,” state Rep. David Clark, who is running for the post, said last week.

The attention follows newly filed open‑records requests seeking documents related to harassment complaints or monetary settlements, as well as passage of the so‑called Epstein Amendment during Georgia’s most recent legislative session.

The amendment allows public access to settlement or non‑disclosure agreements involving General Assembly members accused of sexual harassment, discriminatory harassment, discrimination, or retaliation.
