Censuring Representative Andrew Ogles.

H. Res. 553 is a House resolutions introducing a formal censure of Representative Andrew Ogles for social media posts on June 26, 2025 that the text describes as racist, Islamophobic, and anti-immigrant toward Zohran Mamdani, who had just won a Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. The resolution calls for a non-legislative, symbolic punishment: a public condemnation of Ogles’s conduct. If adopted, the resolution would require Ogles to appear in the House chamber for the pronouncement of censure and for the Speaker to publicly read the resolution. It is a non-binding internal sanction of House ethics rather than a law or change to his official duties. The measure was introduced by Rep. Thanedar and referred to the House Ethics Committee.
