PHOENIX — Fire investigators now believe a Friday morning fire at the Arizona Democratic Party headquarters in Phoenix was arson.

The Phoenix Fire Department said firefighters were dispatched to the building near Central Avenue and Thomas Road around 1 a.m. for reports of smoke coming from the building.

When crews arrived, they found heavy smoke and fire coming from the building.


Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire, but the Maricopa County Democratic Party's side was completely lost.

Investigators say based on the evidence at the scene, this is now an arson investigation.

are the same people that scream about the Constitution, freedom and rights. But in reality, everything they do and say are completely opposite of this.

They are also to stupid to realize it!

Tucson's Democratic HQ was vandalized a few years back. No investigation. Gabby Giffords Pima Street office had its glass door smashed in and interior trashed about the same time. No serious police investigation happened.
Democratic campaign signs have a very short life, here.

This will only intensify as the elections approach - and Jabba-the-Barr won't move a finger (except to protect the perpetrators).

This is just so sad. I’ve spent the past 20 years volunteering there, and for one brief cycle employed there. So many memories in that building. We have worked hard strengthening our party, uniting dems across the state.

We are bruised but we won’t be beaten.

caught him & he confessed on twitter!!

You're right.. not a "Maggat".. a grudge against the Dem Party from someone who volunteered.. and was let go



I used to live in Phoenix for 5 years many years ago.. It will always be dear to my heart. I can imagine how saddened and shocked the AZ Dems were.

Like I read .. they will rise from the ashes just like the Phoenix.
