There was also the case of legislators behaving badlyâspecifically Democratic Reps. Diego Hernandez, who resigned rather than face expulsion after allegations that he created a hostile workplace at the Capitol by pressuring at least three of his employees to have a romantic relationship with him, and Brad Witt, a long-serving member from Clatskanie who has lost his committee leadership role after sending a series of texts that made a female Republican colleague deeply uncomfortable. (Hernandez was replaced by Rep. Andrea Valderrama, whose appointment marked the first time that women have held the majority of seats in the Oregon House of Representatives.)Â
