Oregon Senate walkout continues as 6 more Republicans banned from re-election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Oregon Senate failed to reach quorum again Thursday, meaning six additional Republican senators have now disqualified themselves from running for reelection under Article IV, Section 15 of the Oregon Constitution.

Senators Lynn Findley, R-Vale; Bill Hansell, R-Athena; Tim Knopp, R-Bend; Art Robinson, R-Cave Junction; Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer; and Suzanne Weber, R-Tillamook, all hit 10 unexcused absences.

Under Measure 113, passed by 68% of voters in November, the senators are now barred from running for their current Senate seat in the next election.

That means, unless the rule is overturned in court by an expected legal challenge, only three of the state's Republican senators are left to run for re-election at the end of their term.
