Sen. Amy Klobuchar had the highest staff turnover rate of any senator between 2001 and 2016. She has now promised to 'do better by' her staff
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar issued a statement late Friday promising to do better by her staff, following allegations she had frequently mistreated them.
“I’m incredibly proud of the work our staff has done and I would not be here without amazing staff,” the Minnesota senator the Star Tribune in a statement. “I know I can be tough, I know I can push people too hard, and I also know I can do better — and I will.”Klobuchar jumped into the presidential race Feb. 10. In the run-up to her announcement, she was accused of mistreating her staff and creating a toxic work environment.
Reports in the HuffPost, New York Times and BuzzFeed News detailed claims that Klobuchar had thrown objects in anger, insulted her staff and made them run personal errands. Other staffers have dismissed the reports as sexist and said that while the three-term senator demands a lot from her employees, she has always been fair to them.
