Accusations against Rep. Shooter range from inappropriate touching to showing up uninvited at Rep. Michelle Ugenti-Rita’s hotel room with a six-pack of beer. Rep. Shooter has denied all accusations and has requested an investigation into the matter by the House Ethics Committee/Counsel.

Rachel Leingang, a reporter for Arizona Capitol Times who has been following the story, joins Arizona Horizon to discuss the scandal.
