Jesse L. Young is an American politician who was appointed to the Washington House of Representatives on January 17, 2014 to succeed Jan Angel following the latter's election to the Washington State Senate.[1] He represents the 26th District as a member of the Republican Party.
In a letter dated Dec. 13th, 2016, Young was informed by an attorney for the Washington State House of Representatives that he was being restricted from dealing with his legislative assistants and was no longer eligible to have a district office for a period of one year. [2] The letter stated that the actions were taken as a result of "credible and serious" allegations of a "pattern of hostile and intimidating behavior." Legislative aides and other colleagues alleged that this behavior included "screaming fits," "meltdowns," and "crude references to the female anatomy."[3] The letter further stated that the restrictions might be removed if Rep. Young were to complete an anger management training program, a management training program, and respectful workplace training. [4]As of May, 2017 Young said he had not completed this training because he does not have anger management problems.[3]
