Michigan attorney general candidate Nessel: 'Who can you trust most not to show their penis?'

Nessel says 'we need more women in positions of power'

DETROIT – A Democratic candidate for Michigan attorney general has released an ad that is sure to catch your attention.

Dana Nessel released a campaign ad this week focused on sexual harassment in the workplace, telling voters they should vote for her because she won't harass anyone - because she doesn't have a penis.

“So when you’re choosing Michigan’s next attorney general, ask yourself this: 'Who can you trust most not to show you their penis in a professional setting?' ” Nessel asks. “Is it the candidate who doesn’t have a penis? I’d say so.”

“I will not sexually harass my staff and I won’t tolerate in your workplace either. Won’t walk around in a half-open bathrobe,” she said. 

“And I’ll continue to take all sex crimes seriously, just as I did as a prosecutor.”

Nessel is a criminal defense attorney and former assistant prosecutor who advocates for LGBT rights. She was a lawyer in the DeBoer vs. Snyder case, which challenged Michigan's bans against same-sex adoption and marriage.
