New data reveal a hidden epidemic of misconduct among lawmakers

A NWDL update finds 162 state-level officials accused of misconduct in 424 incidents since 2013, with six new public allegations in 2025, and 30 Congress members accused since 2006; however, reporting is incomplete and many cases go publicly unreported, especially those involving staff. The data show most accusations involve men, with a roughly 60/40 Republican/Democrat split, and point to barriers like whisper networks and weak consequences. While some states enacted reforms in 2025, advocates call for stronger survivor protections, anti-defamation safeguards, and accountability, including not reelecting accused lawmakers; high-profile cases like Swalwell and Gonzales highlighted ongoing risk and the need for systemic change.

SEC's New Data Breach Disclosure Rules: What You Need to Know in 2024
