Quote:

(a) the first four paragraphs:

" 'Let's play strip poker.'

"I should have been shocked by the Governor’s crude comment, but I wasn’t.

"We were flying home from an October 2017 event in Western New York on his taxpayer-funded jet. He was seated facing me, so close our knees almost touched. His press aide was to my right and a state trooper behind us.

" 'That's exactly what I was thinking,' I responded sarcastically and awkwardly. I tried to play it cool. But in that moment, I realized just how acquiescent I had become.

(b) "I tried to excuse his behavior. I told myself 'it's only words.' But that changed after a one-on-one briefing [date not mentioned] with the Governor to update him on economic and infrastructure projects. We were in his New York City office on Third Avenue. As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. I was in shock, but I kept walking.

"I left past the desk of [Director of Governor's Office] Stephanie Benton. I was scared she had seen the kiss. The idea that someone might think I held my high-ranking position because of the Governor’s “crush” on me was more demeaning than the kiss itself.
