Nashville officials are set to vote Monday on a possible reinstatement of a Democrat Tennessee lawmaker who was expelled last week after protesting gun laws.

Former Tennessee state Reps. Justin Jones and James Pearson, both Democrats, were expelled from the Republican-controlled state Legislature on Thursday over their participation in a rule-breaking protest on the House floor on March 30.
