SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon House of Representatives voted to expel one of its own members, Republican Rep. Mike Nearman, Thursday night after he let far-right demonstrators into a closed Capitol during a December special session.
The vote was 59 to 1. The only member voting against House Resolution 3 was Nearman.
It was the first time in its history that the body voted to expel one of its members.
A special committee voted unanimously earlier in the day to recommend expelling him.
