Greater Phoenix Leadership (GPL) calls on Rep. David Stringer to resign immediately.
Rep. Stringer’s continued racist comments are not reflective of the values of Arizona and have no place in the Arizona Legislature.
As GPL members reiterated at the beginning of the 2018 legislative session, it is important for business leaders to stand firmly against behavior that demeans any member of our community. GPL strongly values inclusion, diversity and decency, not only in the workplace, but as cornerstone values of society.
For nearly 50 years, the men and women of GPL have been leaders in advancing Arizona’s economy and quality of life. GPL represents over 100 CEO’s and nearly 300,000 employees.
GPL members are committed to being responsible community stewards and a force for good. GPL was among the first groups to condemn controversial legislation that was anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ and stood firmly against the mistreatment of women by a former legislator.
