REP. HOYLE STATEMENT ON TODAY'S VOTE TO NOT TABLE IMPEACHMENT

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) released the following statement after she voted against tabling the impeachment resolution:

"It is undeniable that this administration has abused its power and acted unconstitutionally. It is also true that any serious effort to impeach requires bipartisan support and we do not have that. In previous and successful efforts to impeach federal officials, the Judiciary Committee first held hearings and completed investigative reports to develop a broader consensus before moving forward on a full vote on the House floor. We are fortunate to have Congressman Jamie Raskin, one of the nation's foremost constitutional lawyers, leading Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. Congressman Raskin also led the effort to impeach President Trump for his role in the January 6 insurrection. It was his strong recommendation to not table this resolution and instead refer this matter to the Judiciary Committee, and that was my intention with this vote."
