The state House of Representatives has voted to expel Dickinson Republican Representative Luke Simons because of sexual harassment.
The vote was 69 to 25. It needed a two-thirds vote, or 63, to pass.
Simons has been accused of inappropriate comments made toward female colleagues and interns. This is not about someone occasionally using coarse language, or saying something that was misconstrued, said House Majority Leader Chet Pollert (R-Carrington), one of the authors of the expulsion resolution. This is about a pattern of inappropriate behavior, and about someone who was given multiple chances to avoid being in this situation.
Pollert told the House he had met with Simons several times to counsel him about hiks behavior.
