Notable Quotes

“I remember she called me when she had decided that she was going to file a complaint against Steve Lebsock. And I knew that it was going to be hard for her. I knew that she was scared, you know, for a lot of reasons that survivors are scared after something happens. You're afraid that someone's not going to believe you. And even worse, what if they believe you? But nothing happens. Nothing changes. But she felt like she had to do it, even though she was scared, because she was more afraid that if she didn't, that his bad behavior would remain unchecked, and she was afraid that someone else at work could get hurt.”

Representative Jenny Willford — Willford described Faith Winter's decision to file a complaint against a colleague, Steve Lebsock, as part of the Colorado legislature's MeToo reckoning.
