For more than two months, the congressional campaign of John Mannion has been shadowed by accusations that he created a hostile work environment and berated top aides in the New York State Senate.
Now, an outside investigation commissioned by the Democrat-led State Senate has ended quietly without reprimand, concluding that Mr. Mannion did not violate the chamber's harassment and discrimination policy.
The investigation was conducted by Michael Murphy, an outside lawyer hired by the Senate, who completed a detailed, confidential response and transmitted his findings clearing Mannion to the Senate.
Democrats are counting on Mr. Mannion, a moderate former teacher, to provide one of the four pickups they need nationwide to take back control of the House.
