Heitkamp apologizes after ad mistakenly named women as sexual assault survivors

Posted on October 16, 2018June 25, 2025 by Dissent

James Arkin reports:

North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp apologized Tuesday after her campaign erroneously included names of several women without their permission in an open letter from sexual assault survivors criticizing her Republican opponent, Rep. Kevin Cramer.

Her campaign ran an open letter to Cramer in a local newspaper criticizing recent comments he made about the #MeToo movement and sexual assault survivors. The ad was signed by more than 100 women. But a conservative blog on Tuesday posted Facebook comments from several women who said their names were included without their knowledge or permission, and Heitkamp acknowledged the mistake and apologized.
