Oregon GOP Sen. Dallas Heard expelled from Senate floor for being unmasked
Sen. Dallas Heard, R-Roseburg, chair of the Oregon Republican Party, was escorted off the Senate floor near the end of Monday's special legislative session after appearing at his desk unmasked and refusing to put on a mask or leave when asked to do so.
Oregon's indoor mask mandate and Senate rules require anyone in the Senate chamber to wear a mask. Every other senator, staff member and journalist in attendance wore a mask in the chamber throughout the day.
Heard attended earlier floor sessions Monday while seated in the upper gallery area away from anyone else.
But as the sine die resolution (which allows for adjournment of the session) was brought up for a vote, he walked onto the chamber floor.
