Yavapai County Republican Committee members plan to vote Saturday about whether to “censure” their own state senator and other Republicans who voted to expand Medicaid in Arizona.
Approximately 200 precinct committee members are eligible to vote on the symbolic action during Saturday’s meeting at the Heights Church in Prescott. They also will vote on replacements for two executive committee members who have quit.
Sen. Steve Pierce, a rural Prescott rancher and native Arizonan, was one of the Medicaid expansion’s most vocal supporters, and he is among those that the county party resolution seeks to censure. So are Gov. Jan Brewer, nine Arizona House representatives and five other state senators, all Republicans. All but one joined Democrats to push through the Medicaid expansion in June.
