Republican precinct committeemen in Legislative District 23 voted unanimously Wednesday evening to censure 24 Republicans for their roles in the ouster of State Representative Liz Harris (R-Chandler). Eighteen were state representatives who voted to expel Harris, three (including one of the 18) served on the House Ethics Committee, which found that Harris had violated House Rule 1 prohibiting impugning other members, and the other four were the Republican members of the Maricopa County Supervisors (MCBOS) who chose her replacement.

Harris (pictured above) was expelled from the Arizona Legislature in a 46-13 vote by the house for putting on testimony from Jacqueline Breger, who worked for John Harris Thaler of Harris/Thaler Law Corporation. Breger accused several elected officials, including state legislators, of orchestrating fraudulent deeds associated with the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel. No evidence appears to have been provided conclusively proving that the officials were complicit.
