House Democrats’ campaign arm is investigating a sexual harassment allegation against Rep.-elect Brian Poindexter, the Ohio Democrat who unseated Republican Rep. Max Miller less than two weeks ago in one of the cycle’s most closely watched House races.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Friday it had hired an independent firm to examine the allegation. DCCC Executive Director Julie Merz said in a statement that the committee had been made aware of the allegations and takes them seriously.
