Show Notes
A federal judge upheld a Washington state Houses decision to bar three conservative media personalities from press seating on the House floor. The trio, including Ari Hoffman, Brandi Kruse, and Jonathan Choe, sued after being denied credentials due to their critical reporting on state government. The House, following guidelines set by the Capitol Correspondents Association, argued the plaintiffs involvement in partisan rallies and ties to advocacy groups disqualified them. The judge found the guidelines reasonable and rejected claims of viewpoint bias, noting specific issues like speaking at Capitol rallies and working with think tanks. The three still have access to the Senate, House Republican wing, and can cover hearings, press events, or watch floor sessions online and from public galleries.
