Rep. Nancy Mace to force a vote on releasing Congress members' sexual misconduct reports

Mace plans a privileged motion to force a House vote on releasing all sexual misconduct and harassment reports involving members or their staffers, aiming to increase accountability across Congress.
The resolution would require the House Ethics Committee to disclose all related reports, expanding transparency over misconduct findings.
Mace intends to file the motion as privileged on March 4, triggering a fast track toward a floor decision.
GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales’s reported explicit texts to a former aide, who died by suicide, fuel scrutiny of misconduct handling on the Hill.
"This is a good old boys club, and women that come to work on the Hill need to be respected, whether you’re a member of Congress and a female or you’re a female staffer,"
Several GOP women express frustration with how misconduct issues are handled, suggesting a culture of inadequately addressing misconduct.
The debate centers on balancing due process with timely accountability for misconduct within Congress.
The Office of Congressional Conduct has conducted relevant investigations and may forward findings to the House Ethics Committee soon.
Mace has publicly supported Gonzales’s resignation, echoing calls from fellow GOP women amid ongoing misconduct scrutiny.
Gonzales denies the affair and frames himself as a potential target of blackmail amid a competitive Texas primary.
