The Arizona Democratic Party has called for the immediate resignation of a rising star Phoenix Democrat after he was arrested and charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
State Sen. Tony Navarrete, 35, was charged this week with sexually abusing a boy for years and attempting to abuse another.
“While everyone in this country is entitled to a fair trial, elected officials must be held to the highest ethical standards,” the Arizona Democratic Party said in a statement Friday. “Given the gravity of the felony charges against State Senator Tony Navarrete, the Arizona Democratic Party is calling for his immediate resignation.”
Navarrete, who represents a west Phoenix district, was a rising star in the Democratic Party and was considered a likely candidate for statewide office, perhaps as soon as 2022. He is serving his second term in the state Senate after one term in the House. His Democratic colleagues in the state House and Senate called the charges against Navarrete “disturbing” and also urged him to resign. more
