Two Women Accuse State Rep. Weinberg of Inappropriate Conduct

Two women accused state Rep. Ron Weinberg of making unwanted sexual advances at public conservative events in 2021 and 2022 before he took office.
The allegations surfaced as Weinberg announced his candidacy for Republican House leadership, prompting scrutiny and questions about timing.
Weinberg reportedly approached Jacqueline Anderson and Heather Booth at Leadership Program of the Rockies events, making lewd comments witnessed by others including Anderson's husband.
Weinberg denied the claims in written statements and through his attorney, calling them "completely false" and politically motivated, while House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese said the party is cooperating with authorities.
Following the accusations, Weinberg withdrew from the minority whip race, and the House Republicans elected Rep. Carlos Barron as the new whip, signaling leadership changes amid ongoing investigations.
