Arizona GOP expels Rep. Liz Harris from House Legislature.

The Arizona House of Representatives voted to expel Republican legislator Liz Harris after she invited an election denier 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.” Conspiracy theories have plagued Arizona in recent elections, and Harris' actions were deemed "reckless and unbecoming of any elected official" by House Democratic leader Andrés Cano.

Arizona GOP Sends Warning by Expelling Representative for Ethics Violation.

The Arizona state House has expelled Republican lawmaker Liz Harris for violating ethics rules by inviting a conspiracy theorist to a joint committee hearing. Harris faced backlash in February after the witness baselessly claimed that state public officials, including Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, were taking bribes from drug cartels. Harris was expelled by a 46-13 vote, with all 28 Democratic members voting in favor of the motion and 18 of 31 Republican colleagues joining them. Harris warned her fellow Republicans to "toe the line" or face similar consequences.

Arizona House expels GOP Rep. Liz Harris over ethics violations.

The Arizona House of Representatives has expelled Republican lawmaker Liz Harris after she organized a presentation making unsubstantiated accusations that a wide range of politicians, judges, and public officials of both parties took bribes from a Mexican drug cartel. The bipartisan vote came after the House Ethics Committee determined Harris had engaged in “disorderly behavior” in violation of the chamber’s rules. Harris, a prominent supporter of discredited election conspiracies, did not speak ahead of the expulsion vote and called the ethics report “a lie.” By law, Harris must be replaced by a Republican.

Arizona House expels Rep. Liz Harris in bipartisan vote.

The Arizona House of Representatives has expelled GOP member Liz Harris after an ethics committee found she committed "disorderly behavior" by lying about false testimony given during a February legislative hearing on elections. Harris invited a speaker to testify at the hearing who baselessly accused Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, Republican House Speaker Ben Toma, Maricopa County leaders, and local judges of accepting bribes from a drug cartel. The decision to punish Harris amounted to a rare moment of Republicans holding one of their own to account for spreading false claims about elections and democratic institutions.

Arizona House Republicans Expel Fellow GOP Representative Liz Harris

Arizona Republican lawmaker Liz Harris has been expelled from the state House of Representatives for inviting a witness to present false charges about lawmakers and other state officials and then lying about her involvement in the outrageous testimony. Harris, who has pushed baseless claims about the 2020 and 2022 elections, was kicked out by a bipartisan, two-thirds majority of the GOP-led House. The move comes as members of the state's Republican Party have in recent years led Arizona to become a hive of election denialism.

Arizona House Republicans Expel Rep. Liz Harris for Violating House Rules

Arizona's Republican-controlled House of Representatives expelled Representative Liz Harris, who had arranged testimony from a conspiracy theorist falsely accusing top state officials of bribery and other misconduct. Harris, an election denier who has expressed support for QAnon and has aligned herself with Mike Lindell, was overwhelmingly removed from office by her colleagues. Lawmakers had accused Harris of making a mockery of Arizona's Legislature by inviting a witness to present false testimony. Arizona was a key battleground in 2020, when it helped Joseph R. Biden Jr. secure the presidency, and again in 2022, when Senator Mark Kelly's re-election helped Democrats gain outright control of the Senate.

Arizona House Rep. Liz Harris removed from office over ethics violation.

Arizona House Representative Liz Harris has been expelled from the chamber by a vote of 46-13 after an ethics investigation found that she broke house rules by damaging the "institutional integrity of the house" during an election integrity committee hearing in February. Harris invited a speaker who made unfounded accusations of bribery against members of the legislature, including the Republican Speaker of the House Ben Toma, and accused the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints of being an integral part of the scheme. The process of replacing Harris begins when Republican Precinct Committee members in the district meet to vote on three replacements.
