GOP-controlled Arizona House votes to expel Republican member after an ethics panel released a report saying she “committed disorderly behavior” and damaged 'the institutional integrity of the House.”
to provide testimony laced with unsubstantiated allegations that various elected officials were involved in bribery schemes that affected the outcomes of the 2020 and 2022 elections.An ethics panel released a report Tuesday saying she “committed disorderly behavior” and damaged"the institutional integrity of the House.”
At the Feb. 23 hearing, Breger claimed that “bribes and infiltration have been used to affect the outcome” of the 2020 and 2022 elections, and she pointed the finger at state officials such as Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, according to the ethics committee report. Harris, who was a member of the Municipal Oversight & Elections Committee, had proposed the joint hearing with the Senate Elections Committee.
According to the committee's report, Harris said in testimony defending her conduct last month that she believed Breger’s presentation would be narrowly focused and that she had directed Breger “not to impugn any legislator” or refer to “any religious institution.”Speaking to reporters after Wednesday's expulsion vote, Harris said:"I stand for honesty and integrity. The [ethics] report is a lie.
