Overview

• The House approved the condemnation 59-2 on Tuesday, with Republicans Brandi Bradley and Ken DeGraaf voting no and Stephanie Luck excused.
• In April, Ryan Armagost secretly photographed Rep. Yara Zokaie on the House floor and shared it in a GOP Signal chat where colleagues mocked her appearance.
• After the image spread on anonymous social media, Zokaie reported sexualized harassment and explicit threats, including one referencing her children's school pickup time.
• Armagost resigned the day Democrats announced plans to censure him, preventing a censure under rules that apply only to current lawmakers.
• Debate highlighted a leadership rift as Minority Leader Rose Pugliese and Majority Leader Monica Duran disputed who knew of Armagost’s role and when; Armagost had served as GOP Whip and chaired the Workplace Harassment Committee until his removal in June.
