BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Republican state lawmaker who says she was subjected to sexual harassment by Rep. Brad Witt said he responded inappropriately when she asked him to support a bill. Rep. Vikki Breese Iverson of Prineville told the Central Oregon Daily News she asked for a yes vote and Witt, a Democrat, asked her out for a beer or dinner and other responses that were “unacceptable.’ Breese’s comments to the news outlet provided more detail about the exchange she says prompted her to file a complaint with the Legislative Equity Office. Witt has said he believes “101% that it will be found that there was no ill intent on my part whatsoever.”
