Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri announced he will resign after recordings of him talking about the 2020 election and his county colleagues surfaced.
In the leaked recordings, Chucri bashed the other supervisors for their lack of support of the Arizona Senate's audit of the county's general election, and indicated he thought there were fraudulent votes cast in the election.
Chucri, a Republican who has represented the northeastern portion of the county since 2012, apologized in his statement Tuesday.
"The comments I made were during a very turbulent time," he wrote. "My colleagues have every right to be both angry and disappointed with me. I should not have made such statements and offer my colleagues heartfelt apologies."
Chucri said his resignation will be effective Nov. 5.
