Arizona lawmaker expelled over drug cartel claims loses bid to reclaim seat
Fox News
Expelled Republican Arizona state Rep. Liz Harris, who lost her seat after making claims about state officials and drug cartels, has been denied reentry into the state Legislature.
"In my discussions with Ms. Harris, she firmly believes her removal was improper and unlawful," said Supervisor Jack Sellers, who represents an area that includes the legislative district. "This board was not a party to that process but must give weight to an action that over two-thirds of the House members voted in favor of."
Willoughby, an emergency room trauma nurse, teamed up with Harris in campaign ads and events during last year's election. They had hoped to win both district seats, but Harris and Democratic Rep. Jennifer Pawlik emerged as the top two vote-getters.
