Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel resigns. What's next?

On Monday, Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel announced she
will resign from her position on Friday, March 25. This comes after
months of dismay regarding how she is leading one of the
nation’s largest prosecutorial teams. Her time as County Attorney
comes to an end amidst scrutiny that she is not fit for office
after her staff raised concern regarding her battle with alcohol
abuse.  Arizona Republic investigative reporter Robert Anglen
recently noted that 180 cases fell apart because of her
procedural failures.  Her impending departure means there
will be a special election to replace her, and not a lot of time to
qualify to run. As of yesterday, Julie Gunnigle, who ran against
Adel in 2020, collected enough signatures to run. In this week's
episode of The Gaggle, an Arizona politics podcast, host Ron
Hansen talk with Robert Anglen about Adel's resignation and
what will happen next to replace her. Learn more about your ad
