犹他州参议院民主党团将里贝逐出党团并要求辞职
犹他州参议院民主党团投票决定，将参议员凯瑟琳·里贝逐出党团，并要求她辞去州参议员职务。党团于11月3日投票前公布了独立调查的结果。调查针对一起关于职场歧视与骚扰的正式投诉，结论认为里贝存在“可能出于种族、民族或国籍动机”的行为模式，调查还发现了以性取向等受保护特征为由作出用人决策的相关言论。党团领袖露丝·埃斯卡米利亚、党鞭凯伦·关、助理党鞭詹·普拉姆、参议员斯蒂芬妮·皮彻与内特·布卢因联署声明，称鉴于调查结果的严重性以及所代表的信任破裂，要求里贝立即辞职。调查报告全文尚未公开。里贝2018年首次当选州参议员，现代表第15选区，辖区包括科顿伍德高地、米德维尔、桑迪与布莱顿，任期至2029年1月1日。

Utah Senate Democratic Caucus Expels Senator Riebe and Demands Her Resignation
The Utah Senate Democratic Caucus voted to expel Senator Kathie Riebe from the caucus and demanded that she resign her Senate seat. Before the November 3 vote, the caucus released the findings of an independent investigation. The inquiry concerned a formal complaint of workplace discrimination and harassment and concluded that Riebe had engaged in a pattern of behavior "potentially motivated by race, ethnicity or national origin"; investigators also found remarks about employment decisions based on protected characteristics such as sexual orientation. Caucus leaders Luz Escamilla, Karen Kwan, Jen Plumb, Stephanie Pitcher and Nate Blouin signed a statement saying that, given the seriousness of the findings and the breach of trust they represent, they were demanding Riebe's immediate resignation. The full investigative report has not been made public. Riebe was first elected to the state Senate in 2018 and represents District 15, covering Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, Sandy and Brighton, with a term running to January 1, 2029.
