Don’t expect much action in the House until Stringer is replaced
Until the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors makes its choice on April 3 to replace disgraced Rep. David Stringer, House Republicans are down to just 30 members, meaning they don’t have the votes to pass any bill that’s unanimously opposed by their Democratic colleagues.

As a result, the House of Representatives is likely to have a light workload until the supervisors select Stringer’s replacement. House Speaker Rusty Bowers cancelled most of Thursday’s votes, leaving only an uncontroversial, nonbinding resolution supporting the United States’ trade relationship with Taiwan. The House had initially been scheduled to debate eight bills on the floor and hold roll-call votes on another twelve pieces of legislation.
