GOP Lawmaker Will Need Escort on House Floor

September 22, 2021 at 10:44 am ET By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Michigan state Rep. Steve Marino (R), who is accused of harassing fellow Rep. Mari Manoogian (D), “will need to be escorted by House sergeants to the House floor and his office to prevent potential violations of a personal protection order,” MLive reports.

“Marino has been asked to inform House sergeants when he comes into either the Capitol or House Office Building and remain confined to his desk, in the House Republican caucus room or on his floor of the House Office Building.”
