DescriptionState Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, has been banned from the Senate Republican caucus after colleagues told her she has repeatedly mistreated staff and should get counseling to manage her anger.

A letter sent to Roach by Senate GOP leaders said an internal investigation had concluded "it would be best to physically separate you from the caucus staff and from other Republican Senators while we are working on the floor."

Roach said she was being singled out by Senate Minority Leader Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla, and other Senate GOP leaders because she has criticized them.

"This is a leadership that wants to persecute me," Roach said in an interview Friday afternoon.
