Arizona Democrats vote to remove party chair at chaotic, marathon meeting

Members of the Arizona Democratic Party voted to oust Chair Robert Branscomb during a chaotic July 16 special meeting.

Branscomb became chair in January after ousting incumbent Yolanda Bejarano at the party’s annual leadership elections. His short tenure in the position has been plagued by controversy, including a letter of no confidence from Arizona’s top Democrats, public disagreements with the party’s union and fundraising difficulties.

The total number of votes cast to remove Branscomb is unclear, with some state committee members voting via email due to technical difficulties. But 476 members voted for removal via the party’s preferred method of voting, clearing the two-thirds requirement for in the ADP’s bylaws.
