FILE – Oregon Sen. Brian Boquist poses in his office in the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Ore., Wednesday, July 3, 2019. On Monday, Nov. 28, 2022, a panel of the Oregon Senate rescinded a protective measure it had imposed on Boquist after he made threatening statements during an acrimonious 2019 legislative session. Boquist had been required to give 12 hours notice before coming to the Oregon State Capitol, to give the state police time to beef up their security to ensure the safety of people there.
