Maricopa County Steve Chucri, District 2 Maricopa County Board of Supervisors 301 West Jefferson Street 10th Floor October 11, 2021 Phoenix, AZ 85003-2143 Phone: 602-506-7431 Wwww.maricopa.gov Mrs. Juanita Garza Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 301 W. Jefferson Phoenix, Arizona 85003 Dear Mrs. Garza, First and foremost, | want to thank you and the entire Clerk's office for your hard work on behalf of the Board of Supervisors and our constituents. It's been a great experience to work with all of you and | am grateful for your assistance to my District 2 office. It’s hard to believe | have been involved in Arizona politics now for 28 years. When | first ran for Maricopa County Supervisor in 2012, | campaigned to bring civility, innovation and most importantly, a business mindset to government making it “Best in Class”. We got off to a wonderful start and have had many successes. Successes that | will always be proud to have played a role in. It has been my pleasure and honor to serve with my colleagues and the dedicated employees of Maricopa County. Moreover, serving my constituents, problem-solving and leading for the past nine years has been both enjoyable and fulfilling. Unfortunately, the political landscape changed for the worst this year. The environment is wrought with toxicity - and civility and decorum no longer seem to have a place. In this current environment, good people are not permitted to focus on the jobs they are elected to do. | have often said that public office doesn't complete me and am taking a stand against this toxicity in politics today. | hope this action serves as a demonstration of this belief. Effective November 5, 2021 | will resign my office as Maricopa County Supervisor, District 2. Sincerely, oar nea Steve Chucri Maricopa County Supervisor, District 2 Cc: Jack Sellers, Chairman, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
