Marty Nothstein (R), who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district, “was placed on unpaid leave from his decade-long post as executive director of the Lehigh Valley velodrome in February after its board was notified he was the subject of a sexual misconduct investigation,” the Allentown Morning Call reports. Nothstein called the accusations “100 percent false” and a “political hit job” that began less than two weeks after he announced his bid for Congress last fall.
