Oregon Supreme Court Bars 10 GOP Senators from Seeking Reelection
TL;DR Summary
The Oregon Supreme Court upheld the disqualification of 10 Republican state senators from seeking reelection due to their record-long walkout last year, which paralyzed the legislative session. The decision, based on Measure 113, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from reelection if they have more than 10 unexcused absences. The senators' lawsuit against the secretary of state's decision was dismissed, and despite the significant turnover of Republican senators, the Senate minority leader expressed support for future walkouts based on principles.
