Small-Town
Mayors
Set
To
Speak
At
Forum
Hosted
By
Disgraced
Former
GOP
Lawmaker |
|
The
forum
is
being
put
on
by
Prescott
eNews
and
Yavapai
Speaks,
both
of
which
are
owned
by
former
Republican
lawmaker
David
Stringer.
Stringer
resigned
from
the
legislature
in
2019
after
refusing
to
cooperate
with
an
ethics
investigation
into
child
sex
crime
charges
he
faced
in
1983.
Stringer
took
a
plea
deal
on
charges
that
he
had
repeated
sexual
contact
with
two
boys
younger
than
15
years
old,
including
one
who
was
intellectually
disabled.
Prior
to
that,
Stringer
had
faced
pressure
to
resign
after
racist
comments
he’d
made
became
public.
Additional
comments
emerged
after
the
Prescott
Republican
won
re-election
in
November
2018.

Ex-Arizona
Lawmaker,
County
Attorney
Candidate
Running
On
Platform
Of
Protecting
White
Inmates |

"In
the
"About
Me"
section
of
the
website,
the
Prescott
Republican
states
Yavapai
County's
incarceration
rate
is
higher
than
the
state
average
and
that
it
sends
a
"disproportionate
share
of
our
residents"
to
prison.
A
statistical
review
commissioned
by
the
state
shows
that's
true
of
many
rural
Arizona
counties.
Stringer
then
goes
on
to
say:
"Young
white
inmates
from
Yavapai
County
are
often
targeted
for
physical
and
emotional
abuse
and
return
to
our
community
damaged
and
scarred
for
life."
Stringer
doesn't
mention
any
particular
race
or
ethnic
group
in
other
writings
on
his
website.
But
the
site
contains
many
references
to
immigrants
and
illegal
immigration,
the
latter
of
which
he
labels
the
most
"urgent"
issue
facing
the
county
of
about
250,000
north
of
Phoenix.
Stringer's
site
generally
echoes
the
same
anti-diversity
sentiment
that
caused
critics
within
his
own
party,
including
former
Republican
Gov.
Doug
Ducey,
to
call
for
his
resignation
in
2018
and
2019." |

Ex-Arizona
Lawmaker
David
Stringer
Running
For
Yavapai
County
Attorney |
|
"Stringer previously
tried
his
shot
at
the
same
office
back
in
2020
but
only
carried
31%
of
the
vote
against
Sheila
Polk,
who
served
her
last
term
and
completed
her
career
with
22
years
as
the
county’s
top
prosecutor.
Stringer
resigned
from
the
state
House
of
Representatives
in
2019
after he
was
recorded
making
racist
speeches,
including
one
about
public
school
children,
when
ethics
complaints
began
to
pile
up.
At
the
time,
Stringer
said,
in
part,
that
his
resignation
did
not
scare
him
away
from
fighting
for
those
who
needed
his
help.
In
addition
to
the
recordings,
a
1983
police
report
obtained
by
Arizona’s
Family
alleged
that Stringer
paid
boys
younger
than
15
to
have
sex
with
him
and
allegedly
molested
the
boys
more
than
10
times." |
