Arizona House Democrats faced yet another resignation on Thursday with Rep. Marcelino Quiñonez of Phoenix stepping down.
“I have had the fortune of being here for three sessions, and I take so many lessons with me,” the Legislative District 11 Democrat said on the House floor. “Amongst them, we cannot let perfection be the enemy of progress.”
His resignation comes as the caucus has already faced five other resignations this session. While four, including his, were to pursue other opportunities, two faced scandals. Former Rep. Jevin Hodge resigned due to sexual misconduct claims from when he was in college, and former Rep. Leezah Sun resigned in the wake of unfavorable ethics committee findings
