Regardless of personal partisan preferences or external pressure, I remained focused on making our region the best place to live, work, and raise a family," Gates said."At Maricopa County, I kept government lean, taxes low, supported our most vulnerable residents, and told the truth about our elections in the face of false information.
Then, just weeks after the 2022 election, Gates and his family were urged by local law enforcement to relocate temporarily as law enforcement investigated mounting threats. Gates did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether past incidents with harassment played a role in his decision.following the 2020 election and Trump’s efforts to overturn it, with some opting to resign.
