they used the Kavanaugh strategy against olympic gold medalist in PA-7 - distrcit was R+8 but is now D+1 cause of redistricting:

Although these reporters made repeated efforts to contact these women independently, they nevertheless refused to review signed affidavits from them, denying any sexual improprieties. They also refused to meet these ladies when an offer was made by the Nothstein camp.

This supposed sexual misconduct, by the way, is nothing that just happened recently. It is alleged to have occurred in 2000, over 18 years ago. At that time, Nothstein said he was "living like a monk," rising at 6 am daily and going to sleep by 8 pm. He was training for the Summer Olympics that year and would eventually win a gold medal in Sydney as a sprint cyclist.

Other than the 2000 incident, no other similar complaints have been made about Nothstein.

An anonymous tipster, not one of the alleged victims, complained to USA Cycling about the 2000 incident just 11 days after Nothstein had announced his candidacy for Congress. That tip was shared with SafeSport, an independent nonprofit committed to ending all forms of abuse in sport. It only reports on its investigations when disciplinary action has been taken. There is no report of any disciplinary action against Nothstein.

An anonymous tipster also contacted Upper Macungie police with the same accusations. They and the Lehigh County DA's office investigated and determined these complaints were groundless.
