During the 2019 election campaign, Wowchuk came under scrutiny after it was revealed he was under sexual harassment allegations from his former constituency office assistant. It was reported Wowchuk violated workplace policy on five occasions.[2] The allegations did not affect Wowchuk at the polls, he was allowed to remain in the PC Caucus and was re-elected in his riding by a large margin.[3]
