PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona state Rep. Bret Roberts abruptly announced Wednesday he's resigning from the Legislature, just two weeks after he filed to run for reelection.
The Republican from Maricopa said stepping down is what's best for his family. His resignation is effective Sept. 30.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve with you, the Republican caucus, and the entire House,” he wrote in a brief message addressed to his constituents and colleagues and posted on Twitter. “I wish you all nothing but the best going forward and am confident that the House, will continue to do the people’s work on behalf of all Arizonans.”
Roberts did not initially give a reason for his departure. Later, he tweeted, “after much consideration this decision was made merely on the basis that it is best for our family.”
Republican Speaker Rusty Bowers called Roberts “a strong, consistent champion” for the Republican caucus and his constituents in Legislative District 11, which stretches from Maricopa and Casa Grande in Pinal County to the northern reaches of the Tucson metro area.

Could be something. Could be nothing.
I live in Maricopa. I’ll see what I can find out.
Thanks. I’ll be checking back.
If you need any extra rope, horses or ammo let us know. /s
I am thinking blackmail?........the left might want to try to win the seat but then I what do I know
That could be based on a variety of possibilities, but the suddenness of it sounds more like avoidance of some kind of scandal.
No need for rope.
A trip through the cholla will get the job done.
He’s getting out one step ahead of the posse...
Is he a pro-audit or anti-aidit GOP? I didn’t see it in the article.
I just wonder if he foresees being found out for wrong doing when the results are released. The old “family” card always is handy.

Anything to do with audit. Maybe involved in the steal. Or trying to do the right thing and being pressured.
Vote for noisy mistress.
Yeah...keeping them healthy.
I'll be interested in what you learn as well.
Sex or money.
Dont hesitate to use the rubber hose if you need to.
Caught in bed with other woman....or even worse a man....would be one possibility!!!
Somebody found the photos.
That’s my bet.
