Phoenix mayor’s chief of staff resigns

Bryan Jeffries / City of Phoenix

By Joseph Flaherty | Phoenix New Times

The chief of staff to interim Phoenix Mayor Thelda Williams resigned suddenly on Monday, three weeks after he pushed an ill-fated proposal to heavily tax medical-marijuana businesses.

Bryan Jeffries, the president of Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, joined the mayor’s office in June, the same month that Williams was selected by her peers on the Phoenix City Council to temporarily replace former mayor Greg Stanton.

He previously represented District 2 on the council after his 2011 appointment to fill a vacancy left by former councilwoman Peggy Neely, who resigned to run for mayor. Jeffries ran to retain the seat, but lost to Jim Waring.

Williams’ press secretary, Raquel Estupinan, provided a copy of Jeffries’ resignation email to Williams, in which Jeffries informed her that he was resigning, effective immediately.
