Censuring Representative Andy Ogles.

HRES 626 is a resolution to formally censure Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) for repeatedly making false statements about his educational background, professional experience, and work history. The resolution details specific instances where Ogles misrepresented his qualifications, including falsely claiming to be an economist without a degree, misrepresenting his law enforcement service as a police officer (when he was only a volunteer reserve deputy), and exaggerating his involvement in human trafficking law enforcement. If passed, the resolution would require Ogles to appear in the House for the public reading of the censure, a symbolic rebuke by the House with no legal consequences. The resolution cites documented examples from news reports and public records, including his false claims about Vanderbilt University credentials and unverified business dealings.
