Manassas Mayor Michele Davis Younger has called for Delegate Dan Helmer to drop his bid for the Democratic nomination for Virginia's 10th Congressional District following recent sexual assault allegations against him. The primary election is scheduled for June 18.
Mayor Younger's statement comes in response to a press release issued by Charles L. King, Esq., representing an anonymous female member of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee (LCDC). The woman has accused Helmer of sexually harassing her after a political event in 2018. According to King, Helmer groped his client's breast and later made sexually explicit comments about her to others.
