Warwick, RI – A recent news report from WPRI 12 revealed that House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Cale Keable apparently sexually harassed Rep. Katherine Kazarian for years and Speaker Nicholas Mattiello knew about this sexual harassment but allowed Keable to remain Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. These sexual harassment allegations are of such a serious nature that that Keable has been put on leave by his employer.
Chairman Brandon S. Bell commented: “Cale Keable should simply drop out of his race for re-election. If Keable’s employer doesn’t want him working for them, why should Keable ask the voters to pay him to represent them up at the State House for the next two years as their representative? Keable should focus on his own personal issues rather than on political issues.”
Bell continued: “Speaker Mattiello knew that Keable had been sexually harassing another representative for years but allowed Keable to remain as Chairman of House Judiciary. Is this acceptable to Governor Raimondo and other House Democrats? Will they finally join us and support the ouster of Speaker Mattiello? When will the Democrats in this state stop being cowards and find the courage to stand up to Mattiello? Hopefully, in a few days, the voters will kick both these men, Keable and Mattiello, out of the House.
