A Delaware state representative said he will not seek reelection after his current term expires because he betrayed voters' faith after using a racist and sexist slur in referring to sex workers.
Brady used an anti-Asian slur to refer to Chinese women in an email that he inadvertently sent on June 27 to someone advocating the decriminalization of prostitution. Rather than using the forwarding function to send the email to another person he sought input from, Brady mistakenly replied to the writer of the original email.
"We want to be clear about something we have heard from residents this past week: As a duly elected official, only Rep. Brady can make a decision about his political future. House leadership cannot unilaterally take action," House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf, Majority Leader Valerie Longhurst and Majority Whip Larry Mitchell said in a joint statement.
Ethics Committee rules state that any House member, including any member of the committee, can file a complaint. If a majority of the committee decides that the complaint has been proven, the committee can then, again by majority vote, recommend that the House take"appropriate action," up to and including expulsion of the offending lawmaker.
