Gov. Kathy Hochul demanded that troubled-plagued first-term Assemblyman Juan Ardila resign after two women accused the Queens Democrat of sexual assault at a party eight years ago.
sexual misconduct claims that the disgraced governor denied, told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday that he was not calling on Ardila to resign.
Assemblywoman Vivian Cook, a Queens Democrat, said, “They [the accusers] waited so long to tell this story.She said Ardila graduated from college and “has improved his life” and questioned the need to punish him. The Assembly leadership take one action out of an abundance of caution: An intern who worked for Ardila has been reassigned, two Assembly sources said.
Erica Vladimer, the co-founder of the Sexual Harassment Working Group, stopped short of calling for Ardila to resign.
