3 GOP mayors asked to quit for 'not marching in lockstep' with the party
GOP leaders from Arizona Legislative District 4 on Friday called for the resignations of three West Valley mayors, all registered Republicans, because of their endorsement of Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat.
District 4 party leaders said they followed orders from Arizona Republican Party Chairman Matt Salmon in demanding the resignation of any GOP elected official who endorsed a candidate from another party.
"We're letting the public know that if you are a Republican, you should stand by your party or remain silent," said Lyle Tuttle, chairman of the Republican Party of District 4.
"This reminds me of Reverend Jim Jones saying, 'Stand in line and drink the Kool-Aid,'" Mayor Elaine Scruggs of Glendale said.
