Noteworthy events
Resignation following report on sexual harassment allegations (2019)
On April 30, 2019, a Missouri House Ethics Committee investigatory report detailed allegations of sexual misconduct against McGee. The report said McGee behaved unethically in 2017 and 2018 by sending flirtatious text messages and repeatedly attempting to begin a relationship with a legislative employee whom he supervised. The committee also said McGee attempted to delay and obstruct the investigation.[3]
The Ethics Committee suggested McGee be censured for his conduct, be removed from committee assignments, resign his leadership position as assistant minority leader, and pay a restitution fine of $7,408.[3]
The Missouri House Journal contained the report and a letter of resignation from McGee, effective April 29, 2019.[3]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
