Study: Majority of San Diego County elected officials reported harassment, threats [Breaking]
Nearly three-quarters of elected officials in San Diego County reported being threatened or harassed, according to a study released Monday by the University of San Diego.
The findings reveal that harassment is a bipartisan issue that can have a chilling effect on those running or continuing to run for office, the researchers wrote. The VIP Lab researchers, in partnership with the Institute for Civil Civic Engagement, found that women were more likely to be targets of harassment or threats than men, with 82 percent reporting such incidents compared to 66 percent for men.
