Nevada State Senator Mark Manendo will resign from the Senate after the conclusion of an independent investigation of allegations into sexual harassment. Senate Majority Leader Aaron D. Ford ordered the investigation during the 2017 legislative session after complaints against Manendo were brought to his attention. The investigator concluded Manendo violated the Legislature’s anti-harassment policy; had engaged in multiple and repeated instances of inappropriate, behavior towards female staffers and lobbyists; and had attempted to interfere with the subsequent investigation into his conduct.
