"Arizona state Rep. Don Shooter became the legislative poster child for the #MeToo movement when a string of women, including several of his fellow legislators, accused him of inappropriate sexual remarks and harassment. Rep. Michelle Ugenti-Rita was the first to call the Yuma Republican out, saying he’d made comments about her chest. Ugenti-Rita also alleged that, “At a conference, he came to my room uninvited with a six pack of beer. I never answered the door.”"
