Maine Rep. Laurel Libby Has Speaking Rights Reinstated Following Censure Over Trans Athlete Remarks

  • The Maine House voted 115-16 on Wednesday night to fully restore Rep. Laurel Libby's speaking and voting rights after her legal battle over her censure.
  • That February 75-70 censure vote stripped Libby of her floor speech and voting rights until she apologized, which she refused to do.
  • In May, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a preliminary injunction, citing First Amendment rights, and paused the Maine House censure while her legal challenge continued.
  • Following the Maine Legislature's adjournment until January, Libby's full rights remain temporarily delayed, limiting her immediate participation until the next session begins.
  • Beyond Maine, federal investigations and a DOJ lawsuit over transgender sports policies highlight ongoing national debates influenced by President Trump’s executive order on gender and athletics.
