More North Dakota Republican lawmakers censured by district GOP

Two North Dakota Republican lawmakers who represent part of Burleigh County have been censured by their district party, a trend connected with the expulsion of a state representative this year. District 28 Republicans voted 69-19 on Saturday to censure Sen. Robert Erbele, R-Lehr, and Rep. Mike Brandenburg, R-Edgeley, in response to the dissatisfaction of many constituents of District 28. Burleigh County resident Marty Beard introduced the resolution for censure, which formally condemns a person s conduct. The district is a swath of south-central North Dakota, including southern Burleigh County.  The two state lawmakers are the latest Republicans censured by their district parties in the wake of former Rep. Luke Simons March expulsion for workplace and sexual harassment. At least seven other lawmakers from Watford City in the west to Valley City in the east have been censured by fellow Republicans.

Censures of North Dakota Republican lawmakers follow Luke Simons expulsion

Several Republican state lawmakers have been censured by their own party in the wake of North Dakota’s House of Representatives expelling a member in March for workplace and sexual harassment. Some believe that indicates an intraparty clash. The top House Republican characterizes it as a battle for the soul of the party. And one of the most respected GOP politicians in recent state history says the tactics being used are cutthroat and uncalled for. A censure formally condemns someone s conduct. District GOP chairs and lawmakers say the recent censures are at least in part due to representatives’ votes to oust Rep. Luke Simons, R-Dickinson. But some say the reasons go further than that and include how lawmakers voted on certain legislation during the 2021 session, which recently ended.
