Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates reacts to GOP colleague’s comments
Gates noted that Chucri has been united with the board in opposing the Cyber Ninjas-led audit authorized by Arizona Senate Republicans.
Chucri apologized for his comments in his resignation letter and said, “My colleagues have every right to be both angry and disappointed with me.”
Gates dismissed the notion that he or Sellers were worried about an audit potentially reversing their electoral victories.
“There’s absolutely no truth to that,” he said. “Jack and I both had close elections. But look, we are people that are focused on getting to the truth. That’s what we’ve been doing throughout our political careers. That’s what we’ve been doing for the last 10 months.
“It has been a tumultuous time on the Board of Supervisors since the election, not because of what’s going on at the board, but what’s going on around us with the audit out of the state Senate andso many distractions,” Gates said.
