Broad and Liberty investigated the claims further and found that Senator Muth\u2019s turnover is extraordinarily high. The article highlights that her office has experienced over 200% turnover since being sworn in and she was much likely to see her staffers leave within the first year compared to her Senate colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>The Pennsylvania State Republican Campaign Committee (SRCC) released the following statement in light of these new developments:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investigation by Broad &amp; Liberty is an eye-opening look into Senator Katie Muth and how she runs her official staff office,\u201d SRCC Communications Director Michael Straw began. \u201cIt\u2019s now clear that Senator Muth has created a culture of fear for her employees. She\u2019s done a disservice to her staff and her constituents for the toxic environment she\u2019s created for her employees. Official office staff are there to help constituents, hear their concerns, and help the legislator. They aren\u2019t there to be abused and treated with disrespect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Information provided to TVL by:<br \/>\nMichael Straw<br \/>\nThe Pennsylvania Republican Senate Campaign Committee<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasrcc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pasrcc.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harrisburg, PA \u2013 In a recent article from\u00a0Broad &amp; Liberty, it was uncovered a former staffer of State Senator Katie Muth sounded off on the toxic work environment and the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?p=113770\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">PA SRCC Statement on Senator Katie Muth\u2019s \u201cToxic Office Environment\u201d Allegations<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113394,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[482],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/srcc.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113770"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/113394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
