As New Jersey State Staffers and Legislators Talk About #MeToo Stories, Former Senate Majority Leader Comes Forward

Earlier this week, Governor Phil Murphy announced a bill that would mandate public and private employers to put anti-harassment training in place after many female legislators, officials, and lobbyists have come forward with stories of experiencing misogyny in Trenton.

State Senate Majority Leader and 2013 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono recently shared her experience in a HuffPost op-ed about sexual harassment throughout her time in state politics. 

She spoke with WNYC's Jami Floyd about why she's coming forward now and if she believes the legislation will fix the toxic culture.
