It's clear the allegations carry serious weight as his own party pulled support: Over Labor Day weekend, the House Republican Organization was made aware of allegations into Rep. Long’s behavior. We immediately brought in a third party firm to investigate these allegations, and upon completion of their report on September 12, a decision was made to withdraw support of Rep. Long’s campaign, restrict access to all caucus resources and recommend he step down from his position. At the request of the complainant for privacy, there is no other information we can release at this time. The House Republican caucus and organization has a zero tolerance policy on harassment of any kind. – Eleni Demertzis House GOP Leader Jim Durkn’s Office It's imperative that Long step down immediately so we can continue focusing on talking with voters about the issues that matter to working families and electing a representative who will serve the interests people of the 76th district -- not the interests of their own ego. Add your name now and demand his personal shortcomings don't draw bad attention to our communities. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/jerry-long-must-resign-immediately
