The Oregon House voted 59-1 on June 10, 2021 to expel Rep. Mike Nearman, the first time it has ejected a sitting representative. House Speaker Tina Kotek introduces the measure.

The Capitol was closed to the public due to the pandemic and remains so. • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=oregoniannews • Get the latest news and more at The Oregonian/OregonLive: http://www.oregonlive.com/ • Subscribe to The Oregonian/OregonLive: https://www.oregonlive.com/subscribe/ • Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oregonian • Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoregonian/ • Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theoregonian/
