Censuring Representative Elise Stefanik of the 21st Congressional District of New York.

House Resolution 970 is a formal measure that, if passed, would issue a public reprimand of Representative Elise Stefanik for her conduct and statements regarding the events of January 6, 2021, and the subsequent legal proceedings. The resolution specifically cites her description of convicted participants as "hostages" and her past efforts to challenge the 2020 electoral results as grounds for the censure. While a censure does not remove a member from office, it serves as a formal condemnation by the House of Representatives and requires the member to stand in the well of the House while the resolution is read aloud.
