MADISON, Wis. — Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels on Tuesday blasted a report from a Milwaukee TV station that detailed multiple allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination at his construction company, while Gov. Tony Evers said the news further brings Michels’ leadership abilities into question.

The reporting from CBS 58 on Monday stems from five lawsuits ranging from 1998 to 2020, all of which were settled with the plaintiffs. The suits allege female employees were pressured to have sex with male coworkers and faced other verbal and, at times, physical abuse.

Michels’ campaign quickly moved to tamp down the reporting, saying in a statement that “(t)hese unproven allegations do not reflect the training and culture at Michels Corporation.”

The Republican businessman, who has made his leadership at Michels Corporation a centerpiece of his campaign, went on to call the report “a coordinated attack by Evers and his allies in the media.”
