Bill > HR2006

This Resolution, titled "Mark Finchem; expulsion," details the reasons for expelling Representative Mark Finchem from the Arizona House of Representatives. It outlines a series of actions and associations by Representative Finchem that are deemed dishonorable and unbecoming of a legislator, particularly in relation to the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol. The Resolution cites Finchem's alleged participation in and promotion of events that incited violence, his association with the Oath Keepers, a group identified as having a history of domestic terrorism, and his promotion of conspiracy theories. The document emphasizes that these actions undermined public confidence and violated the necessary order and decorum for legislative work. Ultimately, the Resolution states that, with the concurrence of two-thirds of the House members, Representative Mark Finchem is expelled from office, and his seat for Legislative District 11 is declared vacant, based on the findings that his conduct was dishonorable, undermined public confidence, and potentially violated constitutional provisions barring individuals who engage in insurrection from holding office.
