St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her Faces Sexual Harassment Investigation Following Formal Complaint by Police Chief

St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her is currently under investigation following a formal sexual harassment complaint filed by Police Chief Axel Henry. The complaint, submitted in April, alleges that Her engaged in a prolonged campaign of inappropriate and unlawful text messages toward city employees and members of the police department. One specific example cited in the Paul city attorney's letter includes a message from Her wishing employees a "Happy Weiner Wednesday," which included a humorous, albeit sexualized, reference to intercourse. To address the allegations, the city has hired an outside law firm, Resolute Law, to conduct an independent inquiry. Mayor Her has expressed her commitment to professionalism and acknowledged that some of her attempts at humor fell short of expected standards. While the investigation is ongoing, city leaders and the police department are navigating the situation as Her prepares to present the city's budget. The mayor remains in office and continues to serve the people of St. Paul with integrity and dedication.
