The North Carolina Republican Party has censured one of the state’s two U.S. senators over his siding with Democrats on key legislation, including a bill that restricts gun ownership.

Party delegates on June 10 voted to censure Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) over his votes on bills like the Respect for Marriage Act, which overturned a law that defined marriage as between a man and woman, and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which expanded federal background checks and featured incentives for states to pass laws that enable judges to strip some people of their ability to possess guns.
