A member of the Arizona state legislature resigned on Wednesday just before a vote likely to result in her expulsion from the chamber. The resignation comes just days after an ethics panel determined the now-former elected official threatened to kill a city lobbyist.

Leezah Sun, a Democrat, previously represented Phoenix as one of three members of the Grand Canyon States’s Legislative District 22.

During a House Ethics Committee hearing last week, two lobbyists testified Sun told them if she saw the other lobbyist in question at a conference held in August 2023, she would physically harm her.

“I will b–––– slap her, throw her over the balcony and kill her,” Sun said, according to the witnesses. The panel, in turn, endorsed that narrative.
