Trump accuser running for office in Ohio

A woman who accused President Trump of sexual misconduct is running for the Ohio state legislature.

Rachel Crooks, a 35-year-old Democrat, came forward with her accusation against Trump just before the 2016 presidential election. She accused the president of forcibly kissing her when she worked as a receptionist in Trump Tower in 2005.

“I think my voice should have been heard then, and I'll still fight for it to be heard now,” Crooks told Cosmopolitan, who first reported on her run for office. “Americans are really upset with politics as usual, and I want to be a voice for them.”

Crooks, the director of international student recruitment at Heidelberg University in Ohio, is running to represent the state’s 88th district and would have to unseat two-term GOP incumbent Bill Reineke. She has the support of the state’s Democratic Party, according to Cosmopolitan.
