Oregon's top court has ruled that 10 Republican senators who boycotted the state legislature in 2023 are not eligible to run for re-election this year. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling by state secretary of state LaVonne Griffin-Valade that the senators were in violation of a 2022 ballot measure known as Measure 113. The measure amended the state constitution so that any lawmaker with more than 10 unexcused absences would not be eligible to run for office again. Last year's boycott – the longest in state history – stalled hundreds of pieces of legislation, including bills extending access to abortion and transgender healthcare, as well as legislation on gun rights.
