- A number of lawmakers including House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, have already called for Nearman to resign. Earlier this year, Kotek stripped Nearman of his two committee assignments and rescinded his commission appointments. Nearman also agreed to several terms regarding his work at the Capitol, including giving up his badge to access the building, agreeing not to let any non-authorized person inside and providing 24 hours’ notice before he enters.
House Majority Leader Barbara Smith Warner, D-Portland, is one of the lawmakers who have previously called for Nearman to step down. After news of Nearman’s recorded statements broke on Friday, Smith Warner reiterated her call for his resignation, writing on Twitter: “Didn’t think it could be ANY clearer that Rep. Nearman is a traitor to our state. Resign now or face expulsion.”
