The House of Representatives voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling a false fire alarm in a House office building in September. The censure was initiated by House Republicans, led by Rep. Lisa McClain, who accused Bowman of trying to delay a vote on government funding. Despite efforts by House Democrats to block the censure, the resolution passed with a vote of 214 to 191, making Bowman the 27th member ever censured in House history. The censure was largely along party lines, with only three Democrats voting in favor and four voting present. Bowman pleaded guilty to one local criminal charge over the incident and was fined $1,000. The move has drawn criticism from some who labeled it as a partisan effort, while others argued that it was a necessary disciplinary action.
